All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

“That’s what you wanted when you voted for that orange a–hole, but you must have thought he’d only do it to Black and Hispanic people. FAFO!”

Saying obesity and dementia are linked in front of our fat, demented President.

"The strongest headwind against growth is the uncertainty that Trump has imposed on the economy,"
