I saw that earlier today. That’s gotta torque the Mango Mussolini’s jaws. Il Douche’s skin is so thin, this is an effective weapon against him.

REPORTER: Do you have a reaction to the new Time Magazine cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your resolute desk?

TRUMP: No. Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that. Elon is doing a great job.

Trump didn’t say the quiet part out loud. “Elon is doing a great job” of stuffing money in my pockets.

And yet, I just saw a video recap of Trump praising _Time_ when he was named Person of the Year in December.

“Time magazine? Never heard of it. Maybe it brought me cofevfe once; I dunno.”

Seriously, “Is Time magazine still in business?” from the guy who put fake made-up Time magazine covers, featuring him, in his country clubs and hotels.

Yep, with that cover, the ketchup is flying tonight. Elon, buy yourself a country club. You won’t even need to doctor the cover.

This song is NSFW so I’m going to spoiler it but it comes out **HARD** against Trump, Netanyahu, and Musk. Macklemore does not hold back and is not subtle. And I think it’s pretty catchy too.

To the surprise of nobody, a number of artists have cancelled their shows at the Kennedy Center after Trump became the director. Several board members have also resigned in protest.

Link goes to Yahoo Entertainment

No, but the guy who runs the place decided to show up for his wife’s Senate hearing.

Yeah, that guy will be setting up the ring! 🙂

Also, “Hon. McMahon” makes me laugh out loud.

This song expresses where we are perfectly. I love it.

I picture trump as an ogre who is stomping his way over everything.

As a person trying hard to be an Atheist, recent events are sure sounding too fucking close to biblical for my comfort.

That’s because a lot of them are using the bible as strategy guide.

Only the Old Testament and Revelation. The rest of it is too damn woke.
