"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history. It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump." open.substack.com/pub/thebul…

The Decline of the Republic Comes with a Claw

Tacky American Caesarism.

Dear @AmericanAir do you realize that due to the proliferation of “junk” PA announcements on your aircraft about credit cards, AA rewards and other garbage, nobody listens to any announcements anymore? Intercom should be for important stuff only. #EndSpam #SafetyNot

This final season of “Hacks” on @hbomax is borderline unwatchable. Why do shows always go one season too long?

Watching @espn NFL Countdown devolve into an infomercial for Draft Kings is just such an incredibly sad statement on the death of media.

Hate watching #EmilyInParisSeason5 and the only thing I can think is: WHO decided that styling Lily Collins to look like Gloria Vanderbilt at 70 was a good idea?

Is it all that surprising, though? Trump’s 3 basic reactions to death: 1) People with different politics: their fault for not liking Trump 2) People with unclear politics: oh well bad things happen, what a shame 3) People with his politics: what a tragedy, this is why the left is evil

#heatedrivalry answers a question none of us could have foreseen asking: What if Hallmark did gay porn?

Whoever did the casting of #HolidayBakingChampionship this year needs to be fired. What a terrible cast.

Imagine—IMAGINE—if Obama had destroyed the East Wing of the White House without any approval or oversight. This thug president ruins everything.

Watching the MLB Network announcers call this Phillies game from my house in LA, I have never missed @TMacPhils more. This announcing is horrible. #Phillies

Blue states with ZERO Republican House seats: Massachusetts Rhode Island Vermont New Hampshire Hawaii New Mexico Connecticut Delaware Blue states with ONE Republican House seat: Maryland Oregon Maine Blue states with 2-5 Republican House seats: Colorado Minnesota Illinois Virginia New Jersey After that, you only have California & New York The reason Democrats are screaming for Texas to stop redistricting is because Democrats have almost nothing left to gerrymander They already rigged the map years ago and hate to see Republicans actually fighting back

In 1975, two Bruins clashed in one of the most shocking @Wimbledon finals matches in tennis history. Watch UCLA Magazine's The Triumph of Arthur Ashe as we prep for this Sunday's showdown. ucla.in/3GAnJ8m

What’s the deal with this triple box nonsense? We can’t see the ball, idiots! STOP IT. #USOpen

Trump's corruption is unprecedented. The immensity of his crime spree makes the business of NYC's five crime families look like child's play by comparison. Trump's shitcoin robbery in broad daylight is one of the most audacious heists by a conman grifter in modern history. 😳👇

Imagine if Obama had 13 kids with four women or even five with three women. MAGA would be calling him a womanizer, a non-Christian. They would tell racist jokes about Black men making babies all over the place. And yet, Queen Felonious has five children with three different women; Pasty Small Part has 13 kids with four different women. Latest baby momma selling her Tesla to make ends meet and “Christians” don't say a word. #DemsUnited

I have no idea if this season will be good, but I do know whoever changed the theme song of @whitelotus_hbo should be fired.
