Autocrats In America
Greg Abbott is turning into Ted Cruz. He doesn't breathe without it reeking of a political agenda. It's exactly why he's going after public school teachers and librarians but planning on pardoning the indicated Austin cops for their use of force in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. Donald Trump is the leader of the authoritarian, autocratic movement in America. Some think that his 35% has been here the whole time. But could it have been instigated by Vladimir Putin, using Trump as his stupid spokesperson?

Fighting the Owners Has Only Just Begun
The T.S. Eliot of 2022, actress AnnaLynne McCord, wrote a poem to Vladimir Putin. Her explanation behind the poem might be worse than the poem itself. And the poem sucked. Jerry Jones is not getting any heat for the pervy Cowboys scandal, in which he kept on an employee after he was caught recording women in the locker room. It's further proof that the NFL owners are untouchable.

The Asshat of the Week
Who do you think is the asshat of the week? John Rich, one-half of the country music duo Big & Rich, is a top contender.
