I cannot hear Laurel. I hear Yanny almost to a parody degree, like yAAnnEE. No matter how hard I try I cannot even conceive of someone being able hear the word Laurel.

Yup! Unfortunately for them it has the opposite effect on a judge [sad trombone]

Trump can absolutely read. What he can’t do is concentrate on one thing long enough to finish a sentence longer than this one, if that.

How about make it a law that every restaurant has to hand these out.

“Stupid Watergate” is now too kind of a description for this dumpster fire. If this were a political thriller it would be a farce, because no one would believe that events like this could actually occur.

Eventually one of these days one of these yahoos is just going to admit that the pee tape is real on live TV.

Whatever perfectly reasonable explanations a guy might have for having 16 cell phones, I still cannot wait to find out what’s on them. My right nut if it’s not something j-u-i-c-y

I love this man so much. I wish he were my lawyer.

This took me a second to get but, f*** yeah

I think you have a different opinion of it than I do.

As someone who digs Ayn Rand, it bothers me to no end when people conflate assholes like him with her work. I know, I know, he loves Rand. He also completely missed the point.
