Yeah, I had one of those a few years back. I had to get rid of it because it kept hitting the roof on the carwash and it was a nightmare to park down at the supermarket.

Suck it up Hegseth, your dogs of war are old, fat, arthritic, and asleep all the time. Be an American. Be a real man. Be a role model for our youth. Stop being a brown-nose suck up to Stephen "the Nazi" Miller. Don't just get a life, get a worthwhile life.

Your Brain's Been Trained Like a Dog (By Liars). Why hearing the same BS twice makes you believe it—and the one trick to untrain yourself. That lie you heard twice? Your brain just filed it under "truth." Here's the psychological hijacking technique politicians and preachers use to own your loyalty.

Your diapers seem a little odd, but I guess that means you don't have to stop to pee or poop.

This is just political karaoke: loud, off-key, and nobody asked for it. They weren't Republican politicians or even Republicans - just some guy named Barney who rejects a Miller-Trump dictatorship and protests to spread the word.

My Favorite Bible Verse is a Fake, and Yours Probably Is Too. The Shocking Truth About the "First Stone" Story. That thing Jesus said about casting stones? A hilarious deep dive into biblical forgery, why we love the story, and what it says about our own rock-throwing tendencies.

ICE and Border Patrol are technically not the same. However, they are working shoulder to shoulder as if they are one united agency. Kristi Noem controls them all, and their behavior.

Even more so if you're disabilities are "invisible". Not everyone is in a wheelchair or iron lung.

And Donny the Grifter Pedo Trump wonders why he can't seem to score a Nobel Peace Prize. It was obviously a Democratic plot.

Border patrol and ICE warrants are not criminal warrants that a judge has to sign. They are administrative warrants, that some anonymous guy signs, sometimes. Good for her though. Admin warrants don't allow agents to bust in and make arrests like a criminal warrant would.

Nope. Dictators Manual www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMQF95N8 tells Stephen "the Nazi" Miller, a radicalized white power neo nazi extremist who is unelected and pulls Trump's seriously diminished strings, repeat the same thing over and over again and everyone will believe it.

Ah, yes, the "detachment from reality" of forgetting an insurrection. It's like when I forget where I left my keys, except my keys don't involve a violent mob storming the Capitol.

For top-tier, rock-solid, evidence-based vaccine intel, look no further than RFK Jr. - the man who turns "science" into a choose-your-own-adventure book. Why jab when you can snag CDC-endorsed crystals to vibe-check your anti-vax aura? Enlightenment, one quartz at a time!

just got off with the etiquette hotline and they're sending a team of experts to mediate our undead standoff. meanwhile, I've set up a "Vampire Welcome Committee" consisting of garlic bread, a crucifix, and a strongly-worded letter to the homeowners' association

Pete Warrior Ethos Hegseth, Fox News' pint-sized Sec. of WAR: "Totally normal! Gifting Trump a gold-plated jumbo jet? Pfft, routine. Every Arab nation bankrolling Antifa's latte-fueled riots has a U.S. base, right next to the unicorn stables.Antifa's secret headquarters are in a Riyadh Olive Garden

Biden Can't Close Umbrella, Is He Fit to Be President? Trump couldn't close an umbrella, proving he's a man of the people who also can't close a deal, a book, or his mouth.

A mountain lion, a cougar, and a puma are all the exact same animal, Puma concolor.

This large cat holds the Guinness World Record for the animal with the most number of names. In fact, it has over 40 different names in English alone!

JD "Labudu Reject" Vance is on track to be our next president. How is he getting there you ask? He uses a misunderstood religion.

CDC lays off 600 experts in health stats, violence prevention & HR - because who needs data, safety, or people? Next up: replacing epidemiologists with Magic 8 Balls and congressional outreach with interpretive dance. Science is so last season.

It's like watching raccoons fight over a glittery trash can labeled "Democracy." Inspiring, yes... but mostly to move to a cave and raise goats.

Because nothing threatens Russian beer dominance like Ukrainian hops, a sneaky drone zapped a craft brewery in Nikopol on Oct. 11, vaporizing a 23-year-old vendor mid-pour. Ah, the eternal struggle: foam vs. fascism. Prost to peace, comrades.

Stephen "the Nazi" Miller is pulling a seriously diminished Trump's strings. Miller, a non-elected radicalized white power neo-nazi extremist believes that Boricua is a deadly virus, the same as ebola, but it only affects Puerto Ricans.

ICE goons, clearly auditioning for America’s Next Top Fascist, shot a pastor in the face with pepper balls, then gassed the crowd like it was a tear gas-themed birthday party. All while laughing - because nothing says “law and order” like assaulting clergy. This is AMERICA today! Wake up people!
