How sad is it that supporting the most basic tencents of free speech is a win?

I guess he thinks Trump is about to crash and burn.

We’re at a point where America’s great public protectors of free speech and baseline decency are: The “Veejay” of a clip show of shortened airline-food standup sets. One half of the duo who brought the world “Girls Jumping on Trampolines.” Zazu from the bad version of the Lion King. They’re doing good work, but christ on a cracker they shouldn’t have been tasked with this job.

Ted Cruz is a piece of shit. But, one thing he has remained consistent about is defense of free speech. Usually defending the freedom of right wingnuts to say what they want, but he did defend Kimmel and criticize Kimmel’s removal. That said, Ted Cruz is still a piece of shit.

Are we sure that wasn’t actually Bobby Moynihan?

He wouldn’t be saying shit if ttumps approval rating didn’t drop 2 points after an assassination attempt. I can’t wait till we hit 27% approval rating

It must be that time of day. I am agreeing with a broken clock. Honestly, I will agree twice within a 24 hour period.
