They played War Pigs for his entrance. Whoever made that decision deserves a medal. When Trump stepped into the Garden floor, shortly before the beginning of the 10 p.m. main card, he was met with some undeniable boos, but also, some cheering, which—mixed with a sound system loudly blasting licks o...

If you say "at-risk" then you are being doubleplusungood.
Can we change "endangered species" to "enfortuned species"?

I just find this amusing: The foreign ministers of Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt have been meeting in DC to resolve a dispute over a dam on the Nile, and apparently Trump was at one of the meetings .

They're not on their way out, though, because of the secret benefit that is the real driver: they're cheap. All that crap abo...
