Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Every poll is like:
"Should we eat our own shit?"
31% yes
39% no
30% don't know
but there are still people getting paid to argue for how Democrats can finely tailor an eat-some-shit message to win over the median moderate voter, of which there are zero.

“The common thread here is not just that Boone makes playoff mistakes. It’s that many of his mistakes are glaringly obvious the exact moment he makes them.”

The Aaron Boone Playoff Script Never Changes
The Yankees are going home losers, just as they have in every playoff appearance of Boone’s tenure. Will the franchise finally learn from its failure?

This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show.
That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.
