First they came for Colbert
And I did not speak out
Because I watched Gutfeld.

Then they came for Kimmel
And I did not speak out
Because I listened to Rogan.

Then the outrage-mongers

Because there was no one left.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

People are claiming this letter is proof that Trump and Epstein engaged in illicit underage activities together, but clearly the “wonderful secret” is their shared love of Star Wars cantina character Momaw Nadon, as evidenced by his crude fan art.
