As boys shift to the right, we are seeing the rise of the ‘new chill girl’ | Naomi Beinart

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
