Given the vast amount of lunatic theories Marjorie Taylor Greene has put out into the world — yes, Jewish space lasers included — it’s sometimes hard to believe that she has been in congress for just over two years now. But she’ll no doubt be remembered for decades, if not centuries, to come. On Monday night, Seth Meyers offered further proof why that will likely be the case during his “A Closer Look” segment.

The topic? The various unidentified flying objects that Joe Biden keeps shooting out of the skies — and what the hell they are in the first place. Because no one seems to know, or at least doesn’t want to say. While Meyers seemed slightly concerned that the head of NORAD, “the military organization that protects American and Canadian skies, specifically would not rule out aliens when directly asked” about the UFOs that keep popping up, he’s even more worried about Greene’s angry take on the matter. (Yes, the same Greene who tried to carry a white balloon into Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, because she is a toddler.)

“The lack of concrete information has left a vacuum for conspiracy nuts to run wild,” Meyers said. “For example, over the weekend, Earth’s Marjorie Taylor Greene listed off a bunch of insane hypotheticals for what could have been inside the Chinese spy balloon. And recounted yelling at military officials during a congressional briefing about it.”

Among Greene’s suggestions about what might have been in that balloon? “A bioweapon, like COVID.” (Wait, she believes COVID is real now?) Other possibilities? “It could have contained a nuclear bomb, an EMP attack, or hypersonic missiles.” Which is all well and good. But Marge’s real problem seemed to be that Biden didn’t want to shoot the balloon down before “gathering intelligence” and/or assessing the potential risk to human lives, which Greene just doesn’t get.

“Yeah! The balloon could have contained a nuclear bomb,” Meyers agreed, mockingly. “Which is why you should have shot a missile at it. Everyone knows that’s how you safely disarm a nuclear weapon directly above a densely populated area.”

You can watch Meyers’ full assessment of our UFO situation above, or go straight to the Greene bits right around the 12:50 mark.

There are only a few days left before our lives are collectively changed forever when Cocaine Bear hits theaters next week. If you need a quick refresher, Cocaine Bear is not the R-rated, mid-life crisis Paddington sequel, but instead tells the very real story of a bear who ingested too much cocaine (any cocaine for a bear is too much, by the way) after it fell out of a plane.

In order to get everyone in the Cocaine Bear spirit, there is now a fun little 8-bit game called Cocaine Bear: The Rise Of Pablo Escobear (really) which you can play as your own cocaine bear and eat as many people as possible. In order to gain speed you must consume the red bag, presumably filled with drugs, and catch the ambulance for some fancy bonus points which do nothing. There is actually no way to lose this game, it seems, as the bear just pummels anything in his way, which is realistic. But there are multiple levels.

As for the movie that inspired the game that is inspired by the real-life story, it will feature an ensemble cast consisting of Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., Christian Convery-Jennings, Alden Ehrenreich, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Brooklynn Prince, Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta in one of his last on-screen roles. Cocaine Bear gets his own billing, though.

You can test your Cocaine Bear skills here before the movie hits theaters on February 24th. You probably can’t beat my score, and if you do, don’t tell me.

You Season 4 is a very different, ennui-filled beast than the seasons of yesteryear. There’s a lack of stalking on behalf of Joe Goldberg (who’s now “Professor” Jonathan Moore), and there’s some lewdness from other characters, but Penn Badgley doesn’t participate nearly as much in carnal-type acting this season. That was fully intentional, as Badgley recently revealed on his Podcrushed podcast. He simply asked showrunner Sara Gamble if he could skip (most of) the sexy stuff, and Netflix was good with it.

The former Gossip Girl star revealed that he felt uncomfortable being intimate as part of his job due to his marriage (to Domino Kirke), and from there, Badgley has further elaborated to Variety about how he has always disliked sex scenes, which he calls “disturbing” and more. In fact, Penn felt that it’s so “important” to value “fidelity” in his marriage that he nearly turned down the show in the first place:

Badgley spoke carefully describing his discomfort with sex scenes, “having done a fair amount of them in my career.”

“It’s not a place where I’ve blurred lines,” he says. “There’s almost nothing I could say with more consecration. That aspect of Hollywood has always been very disturbing to me — and that aspect of the job, that mercurial boundary — has always been something that I actually don’t want to play with at all.” He’s also now older than his romantic interests on the show. “Didn’t used to be the case,” he says.

One can easily see how Badgley might have felt extra icky about the sex scenes so far in You, given that most of them also involve a power differential which is not fantastic. There’s one scene in particular in Season 3 (a forced couple-swapping scene) that felt very uncomfortable for all involved, and that felt palpable. Perhaps I’m reading into this too much, but when I watched the scene, I thought, “He really looks upset here, and not simply as Joe Goldberg.”

However, Badgley has always been somewhat outspoken regarding his feelings about how You is received. He attempted to point out to rabid Twitter followers that they should not lust over his serial killer character. As well, he recently declared that the recent fascination with Jeffrey Dahmer does land “on the shoulders of Netflix,” although Badgley also believes that the show’s fans could do some inward gazing. That’s an ongoing conversation for another day, of course, since True Crime and Crime Dramas are all the rage on streaming.

Piers Morgan and failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake got in a tiff after the British anchor questioned her ongoing insistence to act like Donald Trump and falsely claim that her election was stolen.

“There’s been no independent corroboration that there was anything fraudulent about this election. In fact, it’s pretty clear that you lost to Katie Hobbs,” Morgan said, which sent Lake on a tirade about how she knows she really won. Via Mediaite:

“There’s a mountain of hard evidence. And when we presented it in our trial, the other side didn’t even dispute the evidence. They didn’t,” Lake insisted.

“We can’t continue to run elections this way. And we know that we won and we’re going to continue to fight this in a court of law,” Lake said. “And it’s really rich that you’re sitting across the pond acting like you know what happened on election day.”

However, Morgan pushed back and chastised both Lake and Trump for not accepting their losses and damaging the future of democracy.

“All I know from my lofty place here in London, and I admit I wasn’t in Arizona, all I know is all the official fact-checking entities that have looked into all the claims do not conclude that you did anything other than lose that election,” Morgan said, which prompted Lake to start spewing conspiracy theories about… Facebook?

“Piers, did you just fall off the turnip truck?” Lake said. “We know about the fact checkers and we’ve seen them. This has all been revealed. Half of them are leftists working for Facebook. Let’s be real. Okay?”

This went back and forth until Lake ultimately said “I frankly don’t give a damn what you think about it” and announced she was going to take her fight all the way to the Supreme Court. This puts us all in a tricky spot. On one hand, she’s still denying the election results, which is bad. On the other hand, she did get to swear at Piers Morgan on television, which is always appreciated. Let’s sleep on it and circle back.

American whiskey is a broad category of booze that stretches beyond “bourbon” and “rye” whiskeys but also sometimes incorporates markers of those two categories. Basically, “American whiskeys” are all the whiskeys that legally cannot be called “bourbon” or “rye” on the label. That means that American whiskey can… kind of be anything from blended bourbon and ryes in one batch, malt and bourbon and/or rye blends in another batch, or just a blend of whiskeys that don’t fall into a neat and tidy category besides being made in the good ol’ U.S. of A.

That makes it a wide and confusing genre to navigate.

Below, I’m blind-tasting some new American whiskeys that just hit shelves alongside a few from last year that I want to retry (or give another chance). American whiskeys often feature huge swings in flavor profile, so tasting them blind will level the playing field and allow me to look at the taste and depth alone.

That makes our lineup today the following bottles:

• Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Barrel Proof Batch: A223
• Proof And Wood Extraordinary American Blended Whiskey Vertigo
• Journeyman Distillery Corsets, Whips, and Whiskey
• Chattanooga Whiskey Straight Malt Whiskey Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Casks Tennessee High Malt
• Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 2nd Edition Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey Aged 20 Years
• Whiskey War Double Double Oaked
• Mulholland American Whiskey
• Rare Character The Exceptional Series Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Single Barrel

Some of these are so new that you might not even be able to find them yet. Others are pretty rare, so don’t be surprised if they’re not available in your region. All of them were pretty damn good with one glaring exception so let’s dig in and rank some whiskeys!

Part 1: The Tasting

Taste 1

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a sense of a freshly baked loaf of whole wheat bread on the nose with a slight sweetness, toasted oats, soft dry nuts, dried fruits, and a layer of honey accented by a thin line of clove.

Palate: That honey and clove come out further on the palate as creamy spiced malt with a hint of choco caramel mingles with dark winter spices and a small note of vanilla.

Finish: The end sweetens with the caramel and honey as spiced dark chocolate counters on the hot finish.

Initial Thoughts:

This is a nice place to start. It starts off subtly but ends boldly with a ton of high-proof heat.

Taste 2

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Old cupboards full of winter spices mix with a sense of butterscotch candies and old vanilla pods on the nose.

Palate: There’s a mild sweetness on the palate that leans into dry grains or very dry sweetgrass next to a nutty chocolate vibe with a hint more of that musty spice from the nose.

Finish: The end has a moment of rye green herbaceousness that leans back into dry sweetgrass, butterscotch, and old Nutella with a winter spice underbelly.

Initial Thoughts:

This was fine but felt like the musty oldness was a late-idea addition and not a smooth layer of the whole blend.

Taste 3

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a clear sense of toffee and vanilla cake on the nose with a dash of woody winter spices and a light whisper of smudged sweetgrass.

Palate: The palate leans into the smoldering grassiness while warm dark spices add a sharpness before stewed pears mingle with clove and cinnamon bark.

Finish: The finish opens with vanilla pods and a whisper of old leather and tobacco on the warm and buzzing finish.

Initial Thoughts:

This is pretty good and deeply layered. Overall, this didn’t excite me as much as make me think, “yeah, that’s well-made whiskey” and little else.

Taste 4

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a sweet red tart berry vibe on the nose that leads to blackstrap molasses with a spiced cherry cough drop vibe next to a hint of sweet brown bread.

Palate: That red fruit drives the palate toward salted caramel and old oak that’s been soaked in cherry brandy with a fleeting sense of a savory green herb garden lurking beneath it all.

Finish: There’s a sense of malted cookies dipped in honey and blackberry juice next to softly spiced dark chocolate flaked with salt.

Initial Thoughts:

This was just plain delicious. It’s deeply flavored with a nice balance of tart, sweet, and savory with a hint of bitterness.

Taste 5

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a mix of sweet white grits cut with salted caramel and old oak on the nose next to a slight nuttiness with a hint of sweetgrass dipped in Caro Syrup.

Palate: That dry grassy nature continues on the palate as burnt orange and dry nuts balance out next to sweet dry white hominy and a hint of vanilla pods.

Finish: The end leans into the burnt orange and nuttiness with a creamy edge and a mild sense of powdered winter spices.

Initial Thoughts:

This was interesting and tasted really good. That said, I don’t know if I love it or am a bit “that’s fine” about it.

Taste 6

Tasting Notes:

Nose: There’s a sweet sense of salted caramel on the nose with dried chili pepper, old wet leather sheets, and a hint of burnt orange rinds over cider-soaked cinnamon bark.

Palate: The palate hits that burnt orange and caramel note harder as minor keys of winter spice, fruit cake, and rum raisin darken the taste.

Finish: The end has a sense of pitchy firewood and sweet oak next to smudging sage and spearmint-chocolate tobacco just dusted with lemon pepper from the 90s.

Initial Thoughts:

I dig this too. It’s a little bourbon-y with its sweetness but not overly so.

Taste 7

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Corn on the cob and vanilla dominate the nose with a hint of fresh bay leaf leading to a faint hint of umami and savory melon.

Palate: The taste veers into soft vanilla as a line of woody maple syrup leads to a little ethanol and maybe some sourdough bread crusts with a hint of fennel.

Finish: The end is short and kind of blank with the vanilla and spice giving way to that herbal note.

Initial Thoughts:

This is very thin and funky in all the wrong ways.

Taste 8

Tasting Notes:

Nose: This whiskey opens with a nose full of sharp chili spices soaked in apple cider and cherry liquor with a sense of old leather saddles, rich and sweet porridge, coconut cookies with dark chocolate chips, and a sense of old straw in a damp cellar.

Palate: The palate is lush with a sense of soft vanilla wafers next to a complex mix of apple wood, blanched almonds, peach pits, pear cores, mango skins, wet grass, and … this whiskey just keeps going.

Finish: The long finish is completely devoid of any ABV burn and instead relishes in malted vanilla wafers, woody white peaches, red apples, wet deck timbers, and a hint of soft winter spice cake with a touch of walnut and blood orange.

Initial Thoughts:

This is on a whole other level than everything else on this panel. This is deep, enchanting, and kind of challenging in the best way imaginable. Delicious!

Part 2: The Ranking

8. Mulholland American Whiskey — Taste 7

ABV: 50%

Average Price: $37

The Whiskey:

This whiskey from cinematographer Matthew Alper and actor Walton Goggins is a real outlier. The blend is an Indiana whiskey with a mash bill of 94% corn, 4% rye, and 2% malted barley. That whiskey is aged in Kentucky before it’s sent to California for blending, proofing, and bottling.

Bottom Line:

Pass.

7. Proof And Wood Extraordinary American Blended Whiskey Vertigo 2021 — Taste 2

ABV: 52.5%

Average Price: $149

The Whiskey:

This blend is a mix of American rye, bourbon, and American light whiskey (aged in uncharred oak) from MGP of Indiana. The whiskeys were distilled in 1992, 2008, 2023, and 2015 and only yielded 1,000 once batched.

Bottom Line:

This was fine. I can see building a cocktail with it but not all that much else.

6. Whiskey War Double Double Oaked — Taste 6

ABV: 56.75%

Average Price: $99

The Whiskey:

This Ohio whiskey is hewn from a rye-heavy mash bill. That spicy juice is then rested in new American oak for a spell before being vatted and re-barreled into another brand-new American oak barrel, all adding up to five years of mellowing. Those barrels are then batched and bottled as-is.

Bottom Line:

This was pretty good and a huge jump up in quality on this list. I’d like to play around with citrus-forward cocktails and funky fizzy water highballs with this one. But I can also see this working as an easy-going sipper when I don’t want to think about it.

5. Journeyman Distillery Corsets, Whips, and Whiskey — Taste 3

ABV: 66.25%

Average Price: $60

The Whiskey:

This Michigan whiskey is 100% wheat whiskey. The grains are 100% organic and grown locally around Michigan. The whiskey then ages for an undisclosed about of time before it’s blended into a final product that looks to Irish whiskey for inspiration.

Bottom Line:

This is another big step up from the bottom spot. Still, this feels like I should be making cocktails with it more than anything else.

4. Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Barrel Proof Batch: A223 — Taste 1

ABV: 59.4%

Average Price: $65

The Whiskey:

This brand-new release from Heaven Hill is their famous wheated whiskey at barrel proof. The mash of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley is fermented and distilled and then left for seven to nine years in open-air warehouses. Once batched, the whiskey goes into the bottle without any filtering or proofing.

Bottom Line:

This was really nice but the end was a little too hot. It needed a big ice cube to calm it down. That aside, there’s a lot to enjoy here.

3. Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 2nd Edition Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey Aged 20 Years — Taste 5

ABV: 57.5%

Average Price: $289

The Whiskey:

The 2nd edition of Heaven Hill’s Heritage Collection asks what budget brand Mellow Corn would taste like when left alone for 20 years and treated like an elite whiskey. The results from the mash of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye ended up in 110 barrels back in October 2002. After 20 long years in Heaven Hill’s famed Rickhouse 1K, they were batched and bottled.

Bottom Line:

This was so interesting and fresh with a deep flavor profile. I want to dig in further with water to find those deeper flavor notes buried in the whiskey.

2. Chattanooga Whiskey Straight Malt Whiskey Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Casks Tennessee High Malt — Taste 4

ABV: 47.5%

Average Price: $59

The Whiskey:

This whiskey is made from bourbon mash bills with a high level of specialty malt, especially toasted, roasted, and caramel malts made by Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, North Carolina. Those barrels spent four years resting before batching and re-barreling into Cabernet Sauvignon casks from Silver Oak Cellars out in Sonoma County, California. After a final 18 months of resting in those red wine barrels, the whiskey is batched, just kissed with water, and bottled.

Bottom Line:

This was delicious. There was so much more going on and it all felt right. This also felt like it’d make a killer cocktail base for a whiskey-forward concoction.

1. Rare Character The Exceptional Series Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Single Barrel — Taste 8

ABV: 67.5%

Average Price: $199

The Whiskey:

This new whiskey from the Rare Character team out in Kentucky is a single barrel that’s like finding a golden needle in a haystack. The single barrel was distilled back in February 2011 with a mash of bill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn. That barrel was left alone until December 2022 when the Rare Character team bottled it completely as-is.

Bottom Line:

This was miles ahead of the rest. It is just much deeper, interesting, and tastier. This is great whiskey. And maybe most importantly, the high proof left your mouth softly buzzing and not burning with heat. It’s a crucial difference and the sign of something expertly made.

Part 3: Final Thoughts

You can full-out skip the Mulholland Whiskey. It’s just not getting any better at the moment. Numbers 7 through 5 were perfectly fine whiskeys but not overtly distinct. 5 through 2 were really nice. But that Rare Character was just on a different plane of existence.

If you can find a Rare Character Kentucky Malt, get it. Hell, buy the whole case. It’s that good.

We’re sorry to deliver this news (and on Valentine’s Day no less) but it looks like Chris Evans is officially off the market.

The Marvel hunk shared a series of loved-up snaps on Instagram with his new girlfriend, actress Alba Baptista. The pair are rumored to have been dating for over a year and though this isn’t the first time the actor has shared glimpses of their life together on social media, it is the biggest photo dump fans have gotten so far.

https://www.instagram.com/stories/chrisevans/3038116356974134052/?hl=en

Baptista is a 25-year-old Portuguese actress from Lisbon most known for her role in Netflix’s recently canceled Warrior Nun (though she also starred in the 2022 comedy Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris). According to People, she’s also an activist who speaks five languages and did extensive humanitarian work in Cambodia in 2018. When talking about Baptista, sources close to Evans told US Weekly, “this is the most committed anyone can remember him being in a very long time, if not ever.”

They spend most of their time at his place in Massachusetts and love the quiet life there, surrounded by nature and away from the spotlight,” an insider confirmed to the magazine.

Evans’ recent posts seem to confirm that too, showing the couple on plenty of outdoor hikes with the actor’s beloved pup Dodger, on vacation in Venice, trekking to see the Northern Lights, and generally enjoying their time away from the spotlight.

Congratulations to the happy couple … but also, can someone please check on Lizzo? This news must be hitting her hard.

Experiencing the trauma of one school shooting is one too many. Living through two is utterly incomprehensible.

Jackie Matthews was in the sixth grade in Newtown, Connecticut, when a 20-year-old assailant shot and killed 26 students and faculty members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. As the school district went into lockdown during the chaos, Matthews crouched in place with her classmates for so long that she still experiences back problems from it.

Now, as a senior at Michigan State University, Matthews has survived her second mass shooting at school. On the night of February 13, a 43-year-old gunman shot eight students on the MSU campus, killing three of them, before turning the gun on himself. Matthews posted a video to TikTok while sheltering in place in the middle of the night across the street from where some of the shootings took place.

“I am 21 years old and this is the second mass shooting I have now lived through,” she shared. “Ten years and two months ago I survived the Sandy Hook shooting…I was hunched in the corner with my classmates for so long that I got a PTSD fracture in my L4 and L5 in my right lower back. I now have a full-blown PTSD fracture that flares up any time I’m in a stressful situation.”

“The fact this is now the second shooting I have lived through is incomprehensible,” she continued. “We can no longer just provide love and prayers. It needs to be legislation, it needs to be action. It’s not OK. We can no longer allow this to happen.”

@jmattttt

Enough is Enough. #spartanstrong #sandyhookstrong I hope you stand with me in putting an end to this horrific epidemic of gun violence.

Matthews wasn’t the only MSU student who experienced their second school shooting on February 13. At least two students who had survived the Oxford High School shooting in Michigan in 2021 were also on campus that night.

Emma Riddle wrote on Twitter, “14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol [sic] when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more. Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy [sic], once again texting everyone ‘I love you.'”

“When will this end?” she asked.

Riddle’s father shared her tweet, writing, “This is my daughter Emma. Her safety and sense of peace has been ripped away twice in 14 months because America continues to choose guns over kids.”

u201cThis is my daughter Emma. Her safety and sense of peace has been ripped away twice in 14 months because America continues to choose guns over kids. Last year in #Oxford and today at #MSUu201d

Another Oxford High School survivor was also on campus for the MSU shooting. Andrea Ferguson shared that her Oxford graduate daughter had just started attending MSU this semester.

“I never expected in my lifetime to have to experience two school shootings,” Ferguson told Local News 4 in Detroit as she described hearing from her daughter about the active shooter.

“She had just ended class and hopped on the bus and went across campus and called me, and while we were on the phone, all of the sudden she started getting text messages. It was like reliving Oxford all over again.”

The fact that multiple young people are experiencing multiple school shootings is a sobering reminder that the people who are killed or physically wounded are not the only victims of America’s unique gun violence problem. Countless kids have been traumatized by mass shootings, either witnessing them firsthand or being close enough to them that their sense of safety has been forever affected.

We simply can’t continue to wish and pray our mass shooting problem away away. Hopefully, it won’t take another generation of survivors for us to gather the political will to finally take meaningful action.

Tame Impala is leaving no musically creative opportunity left unexplored. In the last few years alone, the multi-instrumentalist has collaborated with everyone from pop music icon Diana Ross to Gorillaz to The Wiggles. Just last spring, Impala set a new career milestone, earning their first billion-stream hit on Spotify for the song “The Less I Know Better.” Even with so many new avenues still left to explore, Impala is feeling quite nostalgic.

In the fall, Tame Impala’s breakthrough album, Lonerism, celebrated its 10th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the band performed the album in full at Desert Daze. Now, the band has announced a 10-year anniversary box set featuring the 3-LP collection, a 24-page booklet, unreleased Lonerism demos, and never-before-heard demo sessions, all of which will be available on May 26.

In a recent Instagram post, Parker said it’s “difficult to sum up what the album means to me at this point.” He continued, “It was a pretty special time making the music for me. In a way, it’s when I truly discovered myself as an artist. Coming off the back of ‘Innerspeaker’ I had this new sense of purpose…calling…whatever you want to call it. I had finally given myself permission to let music take over my being completely…to become totally immersed in my own world of recording music. So I had this new sense of creative freedom. I felt free to be ambitious, weird, pop, experimental, whatever, and didn’t feel judged because I was finally just doing it for myself and believed in myself. For the most part anyway…”

The Lonerism 10th anniversary box set is out 5/26. Pre-order it here.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they must realize that their fictional boyfriend is not their real boyfriend and is instead a real-life actor who is nothing like said fictional person. Most people make this realization after watching Christian Bale in Little Women at age 10, but sometimes those feelings linger until you’re old enough to sign up for a Twitter account. And sometimes, unfortunately, your fictional boyfriend gets a real-life girlfriend and you have to seem supportive because that’s how this works!!

It seems like Chris Evans has decided to break up with all of his fans at once by posting a Valentine’s Day reel with his rumored girlfriend, Warrior Nun star Alba Baptista. The clip features various photos of the duo, who have allegedly been dating for over a year, sandwiched in between photos of Evans’ beloved dog (this might unintentionally lead to a Pavlovian effect where fans of Chris Evans will now feel sadness every time they see a cute dog, but he probably didn’t think about that).

Of course, all of Evans’ devoted and very intense fans have been sharing their support for the actor, and everyone is really being nice and normal and happy for the lovely couple!

Please take this as a sign to go out and get some fresh air and maybe a dog.

Donald Trump Jr. isn’t doing the ol’ nose candy when he squirms, snorts, and sniffs his way through rants. He’s merely impassioned, you see.

The ex-president’s most insecure son complained on his Triggered podcast that the haters and losers (and Stephen Colbert) are too busy criticizing him and suggesting that he’s on cocaine instead of chasing the real story: something something Hunter Biden.

“I’ve been blessed beyond belief in this country,” Trump Jr. told his dad’s advisor Kash Patel. “I got thrown into politics in my late 30s, and all the sudden, it’s like, hey, I just actually believe this stuff. I will more than happily fight for it.” He said it would have been a lot easier for him to “shut the hell up and be a real estate developer from New York,” but then we’d deprive of his New York Times crossword puzzle takes.

Trump Jr. continued, “It’s so important to be in that fight. But I look at what they called me: a traitor. Adam Schiff wanted to try me for treason. You know, a crime punishable by death. But Hunter Biden can take a billion from China, work for Ukraine oligarchs, y’know, work for Russian oligarchs, money launderer…” — he’s somehow not done but we’ll skip the rest of the list — “…and it’s like, he’s an upstanding human being! And then I give an impassioned speech, and they’re like, oh, Don Jr. is on coke!”

Soon, he’ll be complaining, “Oh, but when a bear does cocaine, it’s fine?”
