After rocking and being loud and drunk all night, vibes are suddenly abysmal at the Rogers Centre watch party. Everyone just exhausted, bleary-eyed. Hangover setting in. Developing Stockholm syndrome with our captors

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

He's trading away Taiwan for some soybeans lol

China just built the biggest bridge in the world, a modern marvel that set ten different world records. Meanwhile we are having the fucking New York Jets and Blackstone bribe our McDonald’s Pedophile President to build the ballroom equivalent of the Flanders house

Gonna stop responding to people trying to make vibe explanations to me about the 00s and just posting 80s-00s era controversies today. Starting with: Fox news used to love photoshopping jewish journalists into der sturmer like creations:

Trump: "I'm just a little busy. I'd love to go to Argentina. I'd like to be like Biden. I'd like to go to the beach. My legs are not quite as thin as his. My legs are slightly heavier, my arms are slightly larger. My body is a little bit larger than his. I'm not sure it would be appreciated."

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

A lot of people learning about this letter btw are now going "How did he get confirmed?! Why would Trump put him up?!" It's because of this stuff. It's useful. Everyone in Trump's orbit has nowhere else to go because that's who is most loyal to him and who has the most incentive to stay in line.
