When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

J.D. Vance flees to Vermont for a cozy vacation, gets confronted by a handful of protesters, and immediately scurries into hiding. The guy lecturing Zelensky on bravery can’t even handle a few angry locals with cardboard signs. Absolute clown.

#Bonsai, it’s what I do. It’s 21°F (-6°C) outside here in central Texas. It’s a balmy 72°F (22°C) inside the greenhouse. I’m the caretaker of some of the workshop trees for this years’ Texas convention in September. Here are the Red Stem Sea Hibiscus. This is a hard cutback to encourage back budding

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
