COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Spray-painted yellow stencil on a sidewalk reads “NEIGHBOR KIDNAPPED HERE” and, underneath, “ABOLISH ICE.” A few dry leaves are scattered around the pavement. The tweet above says, “Seattle is using stencils when neighbors go missing.”

Any company offering a $1T pay package to their CEO is not a serious company and their board should be summarily fired, ridiculed, and banned from a boardroom or corporate officer position in perpetuity. Looking at you, Tesla.

I can’t believe that Engelbert Humperdink made Mariska Hargitay buy her dead mother’s piano back from him. The fact that he wouldn’t part with it for years & then when he did, he sold it to her, is criminal imo. The first time she inquired as to whether he owned it, he should have offered it to her.

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this: One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.” Another, told it would cost lives, said: “We’re all gonna die anyway.” And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.
