My favorite thing about this Donald Trump / Jeffrey Epstein statue is that someone thought Donald is fit enough to stand on one leg.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The GOP is causing all of this chaos just so everyone will stop talking about the Epstein files. Never stop asking where the files are and why they're covering it up.

An actual dictator and a wannabe dictator walk into a bar.

The actual dictator points a gun at the bartender and says, “Leave.”

Then he shows the wannabe dictator all the blackmail he has on him.

“Now, do what I say,” he commands.

Sorry, this isn’t a joke. It’s what happened yesterday in Alaska.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...
