Borowitz: Guardrail protecting democracy turns out to be Venmo

Logsdon added that today’s developments should also send a strong message to the nation’s business leaders, noting, “Venmo has more balls than Jeff Bezos.”

Doug Emhoff just released a very sweet video for his anniversary.

Rumor has it that the Drumph campaign will counter with a release of the pictures of Melania signing the pre-noop.
