Wow, my #GenX peeps are coming out while staying in. Finally, we can explain to millennials that we aren't Boomers and tell Boomers we aren't millennials. Now, excuse me while I speak GenXish: WONDER TWIN POWERS! ACTIVATE!

Dude needs to start packing. The Dolphins suck, and I'm a Fins Fan.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers must have had the best week of practice ever because they are clicking on all facets of the game.

Can you imagine if a group of Black players coordinated their outfits to look like New Jack City gang members or Italian players arrived dressed as Mafia?

Trump can't stop talking about other men's ass, but MAGA wants to call Obama a homo. LOL.

“You’re dumb. You have a low IQ person, and you work for CNN”. All of this was directed at a journalist who simply repeated Trump’s own words about sanctions. God, I’m afraid to imagine what the world would look like if everyone had Trump’s IQ.

Welfare for farmers but not hungry children? Where is all this money coming from?
🚨 BREAKING: @POTUS just announced $8 BILLION in relief for American farmers! Through @USDA’s new Harvest Fuel Relief Program, we are delivering critical support to farmers facing rising costs and market disruptions. President Trump is putting FARMERS FIRST and delivering when they need it most! Thank you, Mr. President.

Wow. Trump is firmly in Putin's pocket.
Trump: Zelenskyy wants to make problems for the world and our farmers. He better damn well stop.

Regardless of his apology to Lane Johnson and the Eagles, Stephen A. Smith built his career on one strategy- insult, be wrong, apologize and repeat. And if you don't believe that, we'll prove it to you. bit.ly/4yaw47q

Byron Donalds got booed in Florida. I knew this would happen. He's Black. MAGA loved him as long as he was attacking Obama or other Black people. But be governor? Oh no. After all that tap dancing for racists, Donald finds out what we knew: MAGA is racist.

HUGE CONGRATS to Donald Trump for getting Denmark and Greenland to agree to the same deal that's existed for the last 75 years. The Art of the Deal, truly. So much winning.

I don't think people realize how many female athletes are harassed by guys who bet on sports. It's a major problem. This is not funny.
BACKLASH OVER SYDNEY SWEENEY’S SPORTS BETTING AD: After Sydney Sweeney said her provocative new sports betting ad was meant to be a fun way to cut through the noise and keep the focus on sports, ‘The View’ co-hosts weigh in on the backlash from some female athletes.

This serves as a metaphor for what Trump's done to DC, the White House, the Kennedy Center, and this country. It's not safe to eat eggs, lettuce, blueberries, beef or rice!

Ossoff: When he first announced the tariffs, you remember that? He called it Liberation Day, and it crashed the markets because it was clown policy. You remember that? OK, so follow me through on this. He announces the tariffs on April 2 of last year. The markets tank nonstop for like a week because it’s a disastrous trade policy, and six days into the crash, April 8, Trump buys millions in stock. I’m talking Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and then the very next morning, April 9, he posts on Truth Social, quote, “This is a great time to buy.” Three exclamation marks. OK, now listen to this. Three hours and 41 minutes after that post, one day after he bought millions in stock, he canceled the tariffs and triggered one of the biggest same-day rebound rallies in market history. He’s trying to get money. And you saw, now he’s offering paid subscriptions to presidential announcements, right? Just understand what’s for sale here: The sitting president’s pronouncements on war and peace and economic policy delivered first to paying customers. What an absolute crook.

This is insane for the President of the United States to say North Korea hasn't been threatening. They have sent more than 10,000 troops to fight against Ukraine. But Trump wants to strong-arm our ally, South Korea, because they don't want to get involved in his Iran mess?
President Donald Trump announced that the United States would reduce military exercises it conducts with key regional ally South Korea, citing his positive relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Seoul’s lack of assistance with Iran. cnn.it/3SdZC51

This idiot continues to make the United States the aggressor, the evil empire and face of this war. Meanwhile, Israel is doing all the real damage, making big gains and not taking the heat for anything other than Gaza. Bibi played Trump like a fiddle.
