A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. The Hollow Man During his 15 years on the national political stage, Marco Rubio has never come across as a man with a consolidated moral center or core. It takes a lot for that kind…
Maga Marco should make the entire US senate proud. They voted for him unanimously. Every single one of them should resign… It would never happen, but if the press would just start embarrassing them daily maybe it would help a bit.
WTF is it with those Gulf of America hats?
You can bet your tax dollars were spent to decorate the cabinet table.
The vampire gets his moment out of the crypt and sinks his teeth into fascist propaganda. Joe McCarthy would be proud.

Wow! Ann Coulter said something I agree with.
And not in a good way.
Making the red scare of the McCarthy era great again.

Mind you there have been some terrible Popes, Benedict X Benedict IX comes to mind, but not recently.
“I know more about the Filioque clause than anybody. No one is better at hearing confession than I am!!”
And not a Cordelia to be seen.
It’s a glorious and exhilarating thing, isn’t it?
