Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template
Dude, that’s your FEET. You need to get that looked at!

Gore Vidal said β€œIt’s not enough that I succeed, others must fail.” That’s how I feel about the disgraceful gutter-bigot campaign run against Mamdani and the do-you-need-to-borrow-an-Ativan freakout about him. These people spectacularly undignified.
Maybe the biggest problem with US health care is private insurance. It’s more of a cabal than a competitive field and billions get wasted on duplicate bureaucracy, marketing, and lobbying
Add to this the fact that petroleum fuels are in significant decline as well with the advent of electric vehicles and it’s possible we have seen China’s carbon emissions pass their peak

We won. A reminder that you are not woke, a soyboy, a leftoid, or whatever these freaks threw at you. You love your country and want what’s best for everyone. Be proud of that.

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!
Defense begins, β€œThis case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”
All these people whining about how β€œundemocratic” it was to parachute Poilievre into an Alberta riding and me laughing the whole time β€œIf they want to keep this loser so bad, let β€˜em!!” πŸ˜†

The β€œstrength” of a story is pretty subjective and usually stems from the quality of the characters. Any story can be reduced to absurdity

Courage starts with three words: β€œNot this time.”
He’s turning the White House into a Poconos wedding venue
On the bright side, he’s losing MPs to the Liberals! πŸ˜†
You don’t need strong β€œstory” with those characters. It’s a truly great movie
This and Cape Fear are among the most menacing performances ever
That Winters underwater shot just goes on forever. One of the most disturbing shots I’ve ever seen; beautiful and horrifying at the same time
