Between Joe Biden’s State of the Union address and Rihanna’s explosive Super Bowl Halftime Show, we’ve hardly had a moment to check in with Rudy Giuliani. Though it doesn’t seem the same could be said for Fani Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, where Donald Trump and his cronies could be in big trouble once the grand jury report related to the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election are unsealed.
As Raw Story reports, Harry Litman — a former federal prosecutor — is feeling pretty confident in his assumption that an indictment could be coming Giuliani’s way in the VERY near future. While appearing as a guest on MSNBC’s All In on Monday night, the topic turned to Trump’s shady phone call to Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Secretary of State, whom Trump and his team pushed to help them “find 11,870 votes” so that he didn’t lose the Peachtree State, or the general election. (The same call during which the former president may have loudly farted.)
“If I had done that, if some random person off the street in Georgia had done that, we’d be in prison right now wouldn’t we?,” Hasan asked, with Litman responding in the absolute affirmative. In fact, Litman went so far to to claim that such a statement could easily be considered “solicitation to commit election fraud,” and feels pretty confident that there will be repercussions.
“He’s gotten the target letter, and that means for the listeners out there, that [Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis] has decided he is in her sights,” Litman said. “So, she intends to indict him. But since he took the Fifth, I doubt it. I anticipate, and it’s a really good general point, it is not just Trump involved here. He did as much as suggested it was Trump because he once talked about people not before the grand jury. Seventeen target people, sort of all the president’s men and women. Giuliani really, really — he goes down to Georgia, tells all these fibs. I think he’s in a world of hurt and is likely to be indicted.”
On the bright side, maybe Rudy can get a discount on those cozy sandals he was hawking a few months back for MyPillow man Mike Lindell. We hear them make comfy shower shoes, and where Giuliani is going, he might very well need them.
Last week, a train carrying five tankers of combustible chemicals including butyl acrylate and vinyl chloride overturned in the small, working-class town forcing first responders to carry out a “controlled burn” before the unstable liquids could explode. Residents were ordered to evacuate while authorities tried to assess whether the air and local water supply had been contaminated by the spill, eventually returning to their homes when the Environmental Protection Agency deemed it safe to do so.
Currently, a massive black plume is hovering above the town and residents are reporting local wildlife, along with their own pets (mostly dogs, foxes, fish, and birds) are either dying or experiencing breathing issues. Some townspeople say there’s a chemical odor in the air while others are questioning if they can trust the government’s recommendation to return home when the long-term effects of the spill aren’t yet known.
THREAD: Photos, videos, and news reports about the train derailment and toxic chemical release in East Palestine, Ohio.
This may be the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.
It’s an epic catastrophe at this point and it’s just getting stranger by the second.
That latest disturbing bit of news about the crash shares an odd tie-in to a recent disaster comedy on Netflix. Noah Baumbach’s White Noise released late last year and starred Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig as parents of a family of five whose lives are upended when “a train accident casts a cloud of chemical waste over their town.” The family is forced to evacuate after the “Airborne Toxic Event” and the rest of the film deals with the lack of media attention surrounding the disaster as well as the couple’s overwhelming fear of death after the spill.
The strange part? Some of the background actors in the film’s evacuation scenes are residents of East Palestine, Ohio which means they filmed a fictional version of the exact environmental emergency they’re now living through.
“The first half of the movie is all almost exactly what’s going on here,” resident Ben Ratner, who was an extra in the film, told CNN. “Everybody’s been talking about that. I actually made a meme where I superimposed my face on the poster and sent it to my friends. All of a sudden, it hit too close to home.”
On Monday, Sarah Silverman began her weeklong tenure as the latest celebrity Daily Show guest host, following Chelsea Handler’s fine run. She kicked things off in fine fettle, showing how perfect she is for the gig by pointing out one of her most ideal qualifications: Fox News and most of rightwing media, as she put it, “really f*cking hates” her.
It began with a “Daily Show-y” montage, showing one GOP figure after another bashing her, sometimes on Fox News, sometimes elsewhere. Laura Ingraham called her “a complete buffoon and aggressively unfunny.” Kimberly Guilfoyle, who gave an accidentally funny speech at the RNC in 2020, “didn’t find anything funny, actually, about her.” Ben Shapiro’s no fan, nor is Bill O’Reilly (who doesn’t work there anymore), who said he’d “like to hit her with a pie.” Some guy even called her a “Jezebel,” “a witch,” and “a god-hating whore.”
Silverman’s conclusion? “These right-wing people really fucking hate me!” she boasted to the crowd. She wondered what she could have done to accrue their ire. “I mean, what am I, a gender-neutral bathroom over here? What am I, a Starbucks cup that just says ‘Happy Holidays’ over here? What am I, a grown woman with an opinion? Oh yeah, that’s probably it.”
During her inaugural night, the comic and actress also speculated about why Rihanna, during her Super Bowl halftime show, did a Kanye song but didn’t invite Kanye to join her. Perhaps, she wondered, it was because “there wasn’t enough space for her dancers to form a swastika.”

Regardless of what part of the country (or the Northern Hemisphere) you live in, you’re bound to have at least a handful of teeth-chattering cold days left before spring. The type of day where, instead of waiting for your car to warm up so you can head off to work, you’d rather just call in sick and stay home in front of a fireplace and sip warming alcoholic beverages all afternoon. Especially if that warming treat is a malty, rich beer.
When we talk about warming winter beers, we’re talking about winter warmers, barleywines, Scotch ales, and other bold, warming beers. And who better to highlight these wintry beers than the people who actually make them? We asked a handful of well-known brewers and craft beer experts to tell us the best beers to warm up with this February — keep scrolling to see them all!
Sucaba from Firestone Walker. This English-style barleywine is matured for a minimum of a year in a combination of barrels that formerly held Four Roses, Heaven Hill, and Old Fitzgerald bourbon.
Tasting Notes:
It has the characteristic dark fruits like raisins and dates, caramel, and brown sugar, but so well balanced and a real treat to sip out of a snifter during the cold months.
Trösten Lager from von Trapp Brewing. It’s a great beer to ‘warm’ your inside when it’s so cold outside. This dark, nutty lager translates to ‘comforting’ and that’s exactly what it is.
Tasting Notes:
I really enjoy the roasted malt flavors, chocolate notes, and a touch of smokiness to round it out.
Traquair House Ale from Scotland is just a wonderful Wee Heavy. The estate once gave shelter to Bonny Prince Charlie whilst fleeing the British Army. When he left, the gates were closed ‘n’er to be opened till the rightful Scottish King regained the throne in Britain.’
Tasting Notes:
Just a marvelous swirling of dried fruit, brown sugar, sherry, and plums. What could be better during the winter months?
Boulder Killer Penguin

Killer Penguin from Boulder Beer. I have a lot of family in Colorado and Boulder Beer is probably the brewery outside of California that I have been going to the longest. I don’t remember the first time I had Killer Penguin, but I do know that it is delicious and dangerous.
Tasting Notes:
Lots of malt character, with hints of bourbon and butterscotch. Lots of dried fruits — you could almost call it a fruitcake in a can, but much more enjoyable than most fruitcakes.
Three Magnets Old Skook in the Woods is a bourbon barrel-aged version of Old Skook, the beer that earned Three Magnets its first Great American Beer Festival medal.
Tasting Notes:
It marries rich, caramelized malt flavors—brown sugar, cinnamon, maple, fig—with deeper notes of bitter cocoa, molasses, orange juice, and gentle vanilla for a drinking experience like dipping into a bag of bourbon-flavored Rollos.
Wishlist from Fort Point Beer Company. It’s a coffee dark lager. Need I say more? Well, I will. This mocha-inspired dark lager is brewed with Crystal and roasted malts and was brewed to taste like an iced mocha.
Tasting Notes:
This velvety smooth dark lager is highlighted by flavors of dark chocolate, roasted malts, and freshly brewed coffee.
Fuller’s Old Winter Warmer from London is a dark and distinctive beer that wraps you up like a warm blanket in delicious malt complexity and character, yet it is only 4.8% ABV so it won’t knock you over the head like some of the stronger winter beers.
Tasting Notes:
This beer is a nice mix of caramel malts, candied nuts, and floral, earth hops. Surprisingly warming even with its low ABV.
Fair State Work Life Balance
Fair State
Garth E. Beyer, certified Cicerone and owner and founder of Garth’s Brew Bar in Madison, Wisconsin
ABV: 13%
Average Price: Limited Availability
The Beer:
I tend to gravitate to English-style barleywine more than American because it showcases fig, raisin, and toffee more prominently. The favorite barleywine in question is Work Life Balance by Fair State Brewing Cooperative.
Tasting Notes:
What makes it special is a tinge of roast (think dark coffee bean rather than campfire) that’s subtly strung through the sweetness of the malt. It’s both chewy, warming, and pleasantly caramel-y. A wonderful wintertime sipper.
Vintage Sierra Nevada Bigfoot is still a very fun one to drink. While most modern barleywines that are well-hopped will oxidize poorly or turn to an herbal hop mess, Bigfoot manages to age gracefully.
Tasting Notes:
The early years have a sort of guilty pleasure numbing bitterness to them, but it’s after five or six years when things start to get interesting, the hops (while still somehow there), ease up just enough to let some developed sherry notes shine.
There are tough conversations that are just plain ol’ uncomfortable for parents to have with their children. Some parents would rather deflect difficult questions or give a very made-up, childlike answer. For example, a parent might tell a child babies come from storks or they give them out at the hospital, just to avoid the topic of sex.
The thought is usually that the child is too young to know actual information about the difficult topic, so in a fit of panic, the parent makes something up. But as a licensed therapist with a degree in child development, I can tell you kids typically only ask questions they’re ready to hear the answer to. In fact, they’re really good at letting you know when you over-explain because they’ll either change the subject or become obviously disinterested.
Actress Kristen Bell made headlines recently for her approach to discussing difficult topics with her children. She’s honest with her kids, even about their father’s addiction and recovery. Bell appeared in the magazine Real Simple and explained that there’s nothing off the table to discuss with her two daughters, Delta, 8, and Lincoln, 9 1/2.
“I know it’s shocking, but I talk to my kids about drugs, and the fact that their daddy is an addict and he’s in recovery, and we talk about sex,” she says. “There are all these ‘hard topics’ that don’t have to be if you give the person on the other end your vulnerability and a little bit of credit,” Bell told Real Simple. Being completely honest with children can be shocking to some parents, Bell noted in the interview.
Certainly, complete honesty comes with the caveat of delivering the information in an age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate way. But why do parents shy away from honesty when it comes to talking to kids about hard topics? Well, in my experience, it’s often because it makes the parent uncomfortable or they’re so worried about getting it wrong that they put off answering, thus creating anxiety-inducing anticipation.
Parents don’t want to accidentally mess up their kids and they also don’t want to expose them to things they don’t think they’re ready for. And sometimes things pop up unexpectedly that parents simply don’t have a choice about when it comes to having hard conversations.
“There are many things that children don’t yet understand, and exposing them to complex topics early on can help both their emotional and intellectual development,” Alicia Robins from the Institute for Childhood Preparedness wrote. Being truthful also helps encourage children to be open and honest in return because there’s been a reciprocal exchange of information and feelings from an early age.
A 2022 study of Indigenous families found that being honest with children created more resilience, quality relationships and overall life satisfaction. But when looking at parents who practiced less open communication, including lying, children were less likely to be resilient and had an increased risk of trauma symptoms in adolescence.
While experts aren’t saying you should tell your children all the nitty gritty details of topics, they are saying that age-appropriate honesty is best, even when the topics are hard.
Sometimes you listen to a song and have no idea whether you just experienced complete stupidity or utter genius. “Teenie Weenie Beanie” is one of those songs.
The song is about, you guessed it, tiny beanie hats, which might not seem like a bop at first. But when sung by two expert goofballs, Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon, it becomes far too silly not to love.
Plus, they managed to find 12 words that rhymed with “beanie.” Even Dr. Seuss would be impressed.
Fans who watched couldn’t deny that it was an instant earworm. Here’s a taste of what people are saying:
“Weirdest bop of the century. I can’t stop watching and smiling. Thanks Rudd and Jimmy.”
“Great!! Now THAT’S going to be stuck in my head for the next week!! LMAO!”
“Pure joy! My face hurts from smiling so hard. Here I go to watch again!”
“I literally was like oh no at the end, cause i know for the rest of the day, ‘its a teenie weenie beanie’ is gonna play in my head over and over again.”
Just take a listen and try not to get this stuck in our head, I dare you.
You’re welcome. Go ahead and watch it six more times. You know you want to.
There has long been a fascination with and romanticism of the American West. From your grandpa’s favorite John Wayne films to the current obsession over Paramount’s Yellowstone series (and its multiple spinoffs) – the lifestyle is one few get to actually experience but many love to fantasize about.
Following the Yellowstone season 5 premiere grabbing the title of the highest viewership ratings of any scripted television show in all of 2022, there is now a phenomenon that’s been dubbed “The Yellowstone Effect” — creating a boom for all western-inspired, well, anything. From country music, western television, and film, to even think pieces attempting to understand why city dwellers who have never saddled up are suddenly wearing cowboy hats.
And travel isn’t immune — it’s also seen surging interest in the West, arguably due to the fictional exploits at the Dutton Ranch. Frequently dubbed a “Cowboy-cation” on TikTok, the trend towards Western travel at guest and dude ranches is hotter than ever. And luckily there are plenty of options in the mountain west. But you don’t have to wait until warmer weather to experience an authentic dude ranch, my personal favorite – C Lazy U Ranch in Granby Colorado – is just as picturesque in the winter months.
Here is what you need to know before you go cosplay as a Dutton:
WHY IT’S AWESOME:
Emily Hart
C Lazy U has been a working guest ranch for over 100 years. The all-inclusive, luxury dude ranch is family owned with a team that works tirelessly to give guests the rustic western experience they’re after without sacrificing service or luxury. The large property is immaculate and home to 180 horses and world-class wranglers.
With activities for adults and kids (and, importantly, separate adult-only and children-only activities) the ranch is the perfect place to get away. After the East Troublesome Fire destroyed the historic barn and some of the ranch facilities, C Lazy U has rebounded and continues to provide exceptional experiences for guests while continuing to rebuild and improve.
IN-HOUSE FOOD AND DRINK:
Emily Hart
The ranch is all-inclusive, with meals served in the lodge. There are hours you can drop in for breakfast and lunch, while dinner has a set menu and time. I loved sitting with other guests for dinner each night, learning about them while enjoying incredible food and wine. The menu changes seasonally but is grounded in traditional Western fare – decadent beef, tender bison, and fresh trout with creative sides.
There are also snacks and drinks available throughout the day. I loved warming up with some cocoa in the lodge after exploring during the day and by the fire at night.
AMENITIES:
Emily Hart
Nightly bed turn down
Cabins with fireplaces with wood and fire starters restocked daily
Valet parking
Photographer on site (seasonally)
Reusable water bottles
Shuttle service
Game room
Summer and winter boot rental
Fishing rods available
Tennis rackets and balls available
Cross country skis available
Snowshoes available
Ice skates available
Western style bar
Hot tub
Seasonal pool
ROOM TYPES:
Emily Hart
There are several options for luxurious cabins during your stay at C Lazy U. There are 38 different options for accommodations, ranging from one to three-bedroom cabins and even a 3,600-square-foot, four-bedroom lodge for larger groups. I loved my in-room fireplace, large bathroom with soaking tub, and porch with mountain views that felt secluded while being within walking distance to the lodge and all amenities.
There is no shortage of activities on the ranch – even in the winter. From horseback riding through the snow, to ice hockey, to cross-country skiing – you can be as active or relaxed as you choose.
My inner horse girl was completely in awe during the fairytale-like winter horseback ride. There are two trail rides offered on the property each day during the winter season, each lasting about an hour and a half. The 8,500-acre ranch is home to 180 horses and experienced world-class wranglers ready to guide you through some of the most incredible Rocky Mountain vistas you will ever see.
BEST THING TO DO WITHIN A $20 CAB RIDE:
Emily Hart
While you could opt to leave the ranch to ski at nearby Winter Park Resort or Ski Granby Ranch (and the ranch concierge can set you up with shuttles, lift tickets, etc.) – I wouldn’t personally want to spend any time off the idyllic 8,500-acre property. The greatest benefit of an all-inclusive, to me, is that you get to stay in one place and let others figure out any logistics for you. And with so many activities at the ranch – you can fill your days very easily.
In the winter months, there are daily trail rides, ice hockey, hot tubs, snow tubing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, trap shooting, and even sleigh rides all available. In the warmer months, you can opt for more riding, fly fishing, archery, hatchet throwing, mountain biking, tennis, a ropes course, zip line, yoga, hiking – even beehive tours – and that’s not even an exhaustive list.
In either season, be sure to get outside in the morning or evening for the daily “Jingle” to watch the 180 horses run into the pasture then back in the morning to prepare for trail rides.
BED GAME:
Emily Hart
I stayed in the Spring Cabin during my weekend at C Lazy U Ranch. A duplex-style cabin with large rooms on either side with a large bathroom, sitting area, fireplace, and – in my case – two beds. As the cabin is generally booked all in one, the side I had seemed to be set up as another room for a family with two beds and a pullout couch. I did push the two together upon arrival creating a larger place to relax but would have preferred a king or queen at the outset.
The mattress and linens were all up to the high standards the ranch holds itself to. I loved cozying up in the plush robe and starting a fire while enjoying a glass of wine in bed at night.
Rating: 7/10
SEXINESS RATING:
Emily Hart
I think this one really depends on how innately sexy a dude ranch is to you. For some people (like me and the over 14.3 billion viewers of the “cowboy” TikTok hashtag) there is almost nothing as sexy as waking up on a ranch surrounded by professional wranglers. And even if you don’t have a weird obsession with anyone in a cowboy hat, the ranch has intentionally added in some sleek and adult elements. From the bar in the lodge to the hot tubs by the fire and the seasonal spa over the river – the ranch is rustic yet sleek.
Rating: 7/10
THE VIEWS AND PHOTO SPOTS:
C Lazy U is nestled into the Rocky Mountains with incredible views in all directions – you really can’t go wrong. I personally loved the views from the trail ride around the property and cross-country skiing. Borrow some snow shoes in the winter months to explore the trail system or take an ATV ride to the top of a bluff for some trap shooting and incredible mountain views.
Rating: 8/10
BEST SEASON TO VISIT:
Emily Hart
I’ve only visited in the winter and can say that as someone who honestly abhors winter, I loved it. I completely and unequivocally recommend a winter stay, however nonintuitive it might seem. While I do want to visit during the warmer months (if only to experience the seasonal spa on the river) winter was like a dream. With fewer guests, different activities, and – to be totally honest – fewer families with young children, it was everything I hoped for.
Fall, winter, and spring also have lower rates and fewer requirements for minimum stays, making a visit during those times slightly more economical.
IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE THING:
Emily Hart
During my obsessive internet research before visiting, I fell in love with the photos I found of the Lazy You Spa. With tents arranged on Willow Creek (and some massage tents situated over the creek with glass floors) I wanted nothing more than to have a massage and relax in a copper tub with the sounds of the creek in my ears. Unfortunately, it is of course only open seasonally so I wasn’t able to experience it on my last visit. While there are alternate locations for spa services in the winter, it doesn’t compare to the unique vibes of the Lazy You location.
Book Here:
All-inclusive rates start at $525 per person in fall/winter/spring and start at $713 per person in the summer season. Minimum stays are required and vary depending on the season.
The last time I wrote at length about De La Soul was on the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, 3 Feet High And Rising. I fully expected to write about them again, especially with their catalog coming to streaming for the first time, but not so soon and definitely not like this.
On Sunday, February 12, Dave Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy The Dove, aka Plug Two, passed away at the age of 54. He’d had a number of public struggles with his health in recent years, including a battle with congestive heart failure in 2018, and a hospitalization in 2020.
The news was devastating to hip-hop as a whole, with an outpouring of grief coming from a plethora of the genre’s most prominent stars, including frequent collaborator Common. Social media was deluged in tribute posts from Dave’s fellow Native Tongues, as well as rappers, producers, and music business veterans.
The timing of his death felt like an especially cruel irony. Just days before, De La Soul had been pivotal in the Grammys’ 50 Years Of Hip-Hop tribute, and in just over two weeks, De La Soul’s catalog would be available for the first time to generations of rap fans who’d always heard about their influence but perhaps had yet to experience the trio’s pioneering music for themselves.
I was one of those who lived it in real time; although I was too young to really appreciate the stylistic experimentation of 3 Feet High, De La Soul Is Dead, and Buhloone MIndstate, my teen years were informed — actually almost wholly consumed — by De La’s latter output. In fact, the first rap CD I bought with my own money from my first summer job was Stakes Is High, the group’s 1996 diatribe against the ongoing commercialization (read: selling out) of hip-hop.
Stakes Is High was a huge part of the reason I spent my high school years sneering down my nose at my peers for bumping “mainstream,” radio-friendly rap (I know, I know, but at least I grew out of it, right?). It was the album that introduced the world to Mos Def — now known as Yasiin Bey — and contributed greatly to the rise of the legend of J Dilla, who was known then as Jay Dee.
It was also the album that developed my appreciation for Trugoy’s lyrical talents. “Itzsoweezee (Hot)” was the album’s second single, and Dave is the only group member to rap on it — it’s also the first De La Soul record I remember memorizing from top to bottom. It was never a huge hit, but it wound up informing the way I came to perceive rap.
It’s also emblematic of his style as a whole; breezy but cerebral, freewheeling but precise. When I say that no one in hip-hop has ever rapped like Trugoy — before or since — I need you to know that it’s one of the few inarguable statements I’ve ever written on this site. Despite the somewhat grumpy outlook of the beloved album, Dave refused to be as staid as rap peers who felt the same way, infusing his rhymes with the sort of humor that underpins De La’s longevity compared to those peers who fell by the wayside.
“See them Cubans don’t care what y’all n****s do,” he rhymed, undercutting the rising wave of studio gangsterism he saw infiltrating hip-hop. “Colombians ain’t never ran with your crew / Why you acting all spicy and shiesty? The only Italians you knew was icees.” Sure, rap may have been inundated with phony mobsters who rhymed scenes straight out of New Jack City, but all Dave could do was laugh at them.
On future De La standouts, Trugoy showed his versatility, from the languid party rhymes of “Oooh.” to the body-positive come-ons of “Baby Phat.” He never lost his edge, though; on “Rock Co.Kane Flow” from the group’s 2004 album The Grind Date (the last they’d record until 2016 as record label disputes waylaid their continued output), he closes the punishing posse cut with a defiant dismissal of any insinuation that the crew had aged out of relevance:
The elements are airborne, I smell the success
(Yo let’s cookie cut the shit and get the gingerbread, man)
Sacrifice mics and push drugs to these rappers
Puff ponies ’til I turn blue in the lips
Sipping broads like 7-Up (ahh) so refreshing
I finger pop these verses like first dates
The birthdate’s September 2-1, 1-9, 6-8
Too old to rhyme, too bad, too late
Trugoy, and his rhyme partners Posdnuos and Maceo, were unafraid to age in what many have long considered a young man’s game. From opening the doors of hip-hop to hippies and iconoclasts to challenging the status quo, he was always unafraid to zig where others zagged, standing in opposition to complacency and intertia in favor of surprise and reinvention.
On March 3, the world will finally be able to revisit De La’s catalog and appreciate the efforts Dave made toward constant progression. It’s tragic that he won’t be here to enjoy being celebrated, but one thing that we can be sure of is that he would only have continued to extend, to reach, to strive for that elusive sense of originality and joy that made hip-hop such a global force to begin with. Although he’s gone, at the very least, his musical legacy will live on to inspire future generations to do the same.
The Super Bowl featured a bit of controversy towards the end of the game. On a third-and-8 from deep in Philadelphia territory, Patrick Mahomes threw an incomplete pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster, which looked like it was going to set up a Chiefs field goal and give the Eagles the ball with plenty of time left. But instead, the referees called a defensive holding on James Bradberry that gave Kansas City a fresh set of downs, the chance to burn the clock, and ultimately, a game-winning field goal with eight seconds left.
Bradberry said after the game that it was the right call, but it sparked a debate about whether or not that specific call should have been made in that specific moment. And on Valentine’s Day, Smith-Schuster thought it would be fun to get a joke off at Bradberry’s expense by tweeting out a card with his face on it that read “I’ll hold you when it matters most.”
This did not sit well with Eagles receiver AJ Brown, who decided to defend his teammate by saying that, while the Chiefs deserved to win, Patrick Mahomes “resurrected your career on your 1 year deal” before referring to Smith-Schuster as “Tik-Tok boy.”
First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it .This is lame. You was on the way out the league before mahomes resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy . He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again! https://t.co/Z3SpMXnP4K
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.
