I don't get why it's perfectly fine for bees to do a waggle dance to communicate the location of food to the hive, but when I get up on the table and shake my ass at the waiter approaching with our Bloomin' Onion, I'm asked to leave. Woke has destroyed us.

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Duane Roberts was a devoted public servant, from the aisles of grocery stores to positions of influence in endless freezers and households. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved.

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL
“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”
