The appointment of Todd Blanche as AG assures the continued obstruction of justice for the Epstein victims. Never vote for another Republican again.
13 years ago today, I went for a bike ride that almost killed me. I turned my head, tore my carotid, and suffered a stroke. I am insanely lucky to have recovered. And blessed to still be me. So today I ride again. Because I still can. #strokeawareness #family #everything
Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."
