Who shot at Donnie Drumpf?
Hey, everyone. Notice I didn’t just say “Who shot Donnie Drumpf?” That’s because Donnie wasn’t in fact shot. He was shot AT, for sure, and struck by shattered glass from a teleprompter that one of the stray bullets aimed in … Continue reading

Bowtie Boy gets Russia hysterically wrong

Plague rat heads exploding in 3…2…1…

Old fart rips one at gasbag dinner
