Someone make it stop.

I'm calling it his southern strategy. Southern, if you know what I mean. I'm talking about butts

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this…

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

The press is covering up Trump's pedo rape scandal.

I went to a high profile prediction markets conference last week. Folks didn't show up to my interviews once they found out I am asking about ethics, where money comes from, and their "risk-free" claims. They stated that market rules & war/disaster and even assassination markets are of interest.

Our media is utterly broken

So if you're following, DOJ's theory here is they can file an initial complaint with probable cause based on incorrect facts, then file a superseding complaint that removes those facts and proceed without probable cause. Novel indeed.

I’m fine with banning it
