This new lie of his revolves around Project 2025, a conservative wishlist written by various authors.

The Supreme Court justices are wrong, even when they’re right
Share: “SCOTUS.” Just the sound of it makes skin crawl, doesn’t it? The abbreviation may look fine on paper, but saying it out loud feels brutish and vulgar. But then, “brutish and vulgar” is an apt description of the Court in the last few years. Since the overturning of Roe v.

Chappelle tells white people to ‘come get these n**** lessons’
Share: Once again, Dave Chappelle proved to be poignant, cynical, straight-forward, and most importantly, downright hilarious in between smoking a cigarette, live on-stage while hosting “Saturday Night Live.” If white America thought life was going to get any easier now that Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election, Chappelle politely reminds them of the misery and despair that was conveniently forgotten prior to the Trump campaign.
