As the Trump administration clumsily moves toward an unnecessary and irresponsible and narcissistic war with Venezuela, I want to take a brief moment to offer this sentiment to those who voted for him over VP Harris because they believed it would keep us out of unnecessary wars:
FUCK. YOU.
FUCK. YOU.

tbf, not all of them were PENALTY calls; the one that prompted this was an interception in the end zone that replays showed bouncing on the ground but officials said "nah it's a catch"
I'm not usually one of those "GRR BAD REFS HATE US" folks, but this is like the fifth MAJOR penalty call in this game that the announcers are CERTAIN the officials have blown, ALL of them in Clemson's favor

So eating clubs are kinda like a bougie combination of a dining hall +a frat, & we had a club song, part of which went:
Huzzah Huzzah for [club], now raise a glass with me, Now drain them fast as one, my boys, 1-2-3!'

President-elect Trump says Will Scharf will serve as White House Staff Secretary.
Scharf ran for Attorney General in Missouri and was one of Trump’s attorneys.
The position of White House Staff Secretary is important and holds a great deal of power.

He has been “back” for years now. He was “back” like six months after other comedians revealed he wouldn’t stop asking to yank his freckled little dick in front of them
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

The president is mentally unwell and just says things. He is going to arrest Biden for perjury! He is going to invade Nigeria! He is going to abolish income tax!
The press just ignores this because it isn't serious. But it robs the public of a chance to see how broken everything is.

This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
