You think you’re hot? Try 122 degrees in Mexico. In France, they are not prepared for the kind of 120-plus degree temperatures they are experiencing, and people are dying jumping into what ever river they can find in an attempt to cool off.

So homegirl Melania Trump posted nada on social media to recognize the 80th birthday of her spouse, the very imitable president Donald Trump.. Zilch. I get it.

Brace Yourself
The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah.

I Don’t Care…

If you think it’s bad now…… I have maybe a decade left (if I’m lucky), so their favorite dictatorContinue reading “I Don’t Care…”
