I find this origin story more plausible.

Clearly they sold their souls during the visit. Trump most probably took a commission. Can someone check the White House visitor logs for the name "Applegate"?
More American Graves Await.
You may wish to consider recalibrating your sarcasm meter.
Names are magic. As soon as they named it COVID-19, poof! Everyone suddenly forgot that it was first seen in Wuhan. Including the people whose job it was to trace its origin.
Loved worldwide? He's not even loved in his own household.
Nothing goes over my head! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.
Nye would probably not be bad at HHS. He's smart, has a healthy respect for scientific research, and would probably surround himself with excellent advisors. If you want a bad leftish person for HHS, I might suggest Oprah.
Even if there were something wrong with mail-in voting, it wouldn't mean that Trump "has a point," because whatever the problem was, it wouldn't be the reason Trump has decided to oppose mail-in voting now. You might as well write "Why This Stopped Clock Had A Point At 2:34 This Afternoon."
Damn. "Esptein."
Release the Esptien files!
Fox: "I'm also the chief henhouse guard."
Libs of TikTok is a poison. She has come right out and admitted that she doesn't care whether things she posts are true so long as they're politically effective.
I declined a murder last night. Someone threatened to kill me and I said, "Please don't."
"innocently"
The historical antipathy between the English and the French is neatly captured by a pair of phrases, "to take French leave" and "filer à l'anglaise," which both mean "to sneak away."
Ha ha. The idea that Fred cares about avoiding hypocrisy.
"Have you heard of Dante? Goethe? Homer? Morons."
As an atheist (though I hope not a virulent one) I don't think their problem is atheism. I think it's more likely that they think (1) they're on the side of the Almighty Master of the Universe in His War against Evil, and (2) if there's something they hate, that must be because He hates it too.
"Life in America on a daily basis will be largely unaffected whether Hitler takes control of Czechoslovakia or not. That's just a fact."
RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim. RUBIO'S INNER MONOLOGUE: Yeah, he says all kinds of random shit. If you believe any of it, you're a bigger fool even than I am.
"Contrary to all expectations . . . ."
Beats having him tattooed on your back.
If Knoxville is in the most violent 10% but still has a lower crime rate than DC, then DC is presumably also in the most violent 10%.
Remarkably, living in a dead country didn't really feel as bad as one might expect.
"The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER!" RFK jr. has entered the chat.
I am reliably informed that Biden was old. But this guy? Nah. Nothing to see here.
$40 for the basic shirt. Stains extra.
It's somewhere between fascinating and horrifying that Vance thinks you have to agree with people's religion before you can want them not to be genocided.
Ged Jesus Trump Vance person woman man camera TV.
The sequel to Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice that absolutely no one was asking for.
John Quincy Adama was not only a great President but also one hell of a Battlestar captain.
If you're looking for work but can't find any, our exciting new work requirements may be just what you need!
Nightmare fuel.
Alphabet purée.
He calls himself "Big Balls." Does there really need to be any other reason? If a Backpfeifengesicht is "a face in need of a fist," then "Big Balls" strikes me as practically the Platonic ideal of a Backpfeifenspitzname.
The use of "people" as a singular noun meaning an ethnic or national group is not incorrect, and somehow I feel compelled to defend it. I'll admit that using it this way makes Ben sound like a prig. But then again, pretty much everything he says makes him sound like a prig.
To be fair, Don Jr. is disgusting whether or not you can see his nipples.
As my father-in-law was wont to say about such productions, "Don't fail to miss it."
If Manchin is "Dead Center," why is his picture on the cover shifted so far to the right?
That "Miss me yet?" meme was just 15 years ahead of its time.
Good luck getting any local cooperation the next time we send our military into combat.
My "Beat me off and don't stop" T-shirt is raising lots of questions already answered by my shirt.
Thank you for your inattention to this matter!
The self-styled "Hebrew Hammer."
"And I think the other problem, too, is that newspapers like The Wall Street Journal are not used to a high-functioning executive president.... They are used to, you know, perhaps President Biden, perhaps President Obama, who was not as economically sophisticated as President Trump." - Scott Bessent

Does he or does he not look like a Ted Cruz in training?
It's Obamagate all over again. "Asked by a Washington Post reporter for the second time to name Obama’s exact offence, Trump replied cryptically: 'You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.'” - Guardian, 11 May 2020
As I remember it, it was person woman man camera TV.
Make Americans Ghouls Again.
I was enjoying my retirement already, but now I'll enjoy it even more knowing that Ben is against it.
And this from the same people who want to withdraw vaccine authorizations because there weren't "gold standard" randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trials.

By "innocent victim" she means something other than what you or I would mean. She doesn't mean victims of trafficking or abuse, she means "victims" of the blackmail scheme she's claiming. I suspect that the "innocent victim" she has primarily in mind is Prince Andrew. Grotesque as that thought is.
He claps like a wind-up monkey.
I understand there's been a 700% increase this year in fabricated allegations of assault against ICE agents.
Would you favor full disclosure if you knew that it would give Thanos control of the final infinity stone, allowing him to wipe out half of all life in the universe? I mean, if we're going for fictional scenarios here, why not go big?
I misread that as "I'd love to see Trump spend his last 48 hours in that gulag", and let me say, I'm on board with that.
The common clay, as it were.
Called people who are asking questions about the Guadalupe River flood response "evil".
If your criteria are (a) contributing to the fascistification of the U.S. while (b) getting a lot of press, then these two are in fact superstars. Since these are two of Trump's own favorite pastimes, it's no wonder he approves.
Body of a Greek god, that one.
Incorrect possessive plurals bug the heck out of me too, but sufficient unto the day are the solecisms thereof.
What's your objection to it?
Note: grammatically, women come in numbers, not amounts. Unless of course, you refuse to see them as individuals.
That x-ray montage is horrifying, and I don't even know what message he's trying to convey. People who demonstrate against authoritarianism ought to have their hands mutilated? There must be some subtext I'm missing.
Germans only capitalize their nouns. Trump doesn't know a noun from a hole in the ground, so he just capitalizes whatever the hell he feels like at the moment because he thinks it makes his words Look Important.
I'm beginning to wonder if the people who say Mike Johnson is "third in line for the Presidency" might not actually be right. Johnson is third in line, Vance is second, and Trump is first. The office is actually occupied, and its power exercised, by Miller.
Prayer: it's literally the least you can do.
$170+ bn.
If we're going to be paying $170+ for abuse, we can only hope for commensurate amounts of waste and fraud to mitigate the impact.
Reich's later work was heavily infused with crackpottery, but in this instance he seems to have been right.
On the other hand, many people who would describe themselves as devoutly religious are on board the Trump train, and his abominations appear to cause them no qualms at all.
As an atheist, I do wish people could come up with synonyms other than "godless" for "evil" or "immoral" or what have you. I and many fine people I know are godless, but we would never be party to the abominations being perpetrated by Trump and his minions.
BUT GOD... ... hates us all and wants to see us suffer?
Looking at this roster, I have only one question: where's a meteor when you need one?
Eau de Sieg Heil.
They wouldn't admit it, but I suspect that deep down they know that prayer never actually accomplishes anything.
Let me know when their Bible study gets to Matt. 25:31-46.

Yeah, like Leavitt knows anything about shame as other than a theoretical construct.
"... this unbelievable victory..." Yeah, about that...
Also the "number of the beast" crowd, to the extent that they're not exactly the same people in the first place.
"Hasa diga eebowai." Oh, you wanted it in English?
I think his brain got stuck between derogative and pejorative and this was the best it could come up with.
Or, you know, EAIAC.
EIAIC, example 47 gazillion.
I'm tired of all the winning. Can we make it stop, please?
Only Democrats have agency
I don't mind the aspects of religion that give people comfort and encourage pro-social behavior. The aspect of religion that makes people think they should make life-and-death decisions for all of us based on what disembodied voices only they can hear say to them - that scares the pants off me.
And are these quarter of a million people in the room with us right now, Steven?
CEntro de COnfinamiento del Terrorismo. The Salvadoran prison where Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent.
The whole point of the "bad apple" metaphor is that all your apples will be ruined if you don't remove the bad apples right away, even if there's only one. I'm amazed more people don't understand this. "Well, it's only a few bad apples." Yes, and what have you done to keep the rot from spreading?
This may be a controversial take, but I'd suggest that virtue signaling beats vice signaling.
Apparently the cries of migrants employed in those three specific areas are louder than everybody else's. For some reason.

U.S. Flag Code: "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." I look forward to all the sentences meted out for destroying a damaged flag in a dignified way. Or is that not what he meant?
Tell me you don't know how percentages work without telling me you don't know how percentages work.
Johnson knows this, of course, but the fact that he runs with it anyway bespeaks a severe deficit in the conscience department. Disingenuousness this obvious should be physically painful.
