A weasel walks into a bar, and the bartender says, “Wow, I’ve never seen a weasel before.

What can I get you?”

“Pop,” goes the weasel.

grinch | noun | a grumpy person who spoils the pleasure of others

When Dr. Seuss wrote ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ in 1957, he probably had no idea that ‘grinch’ would soon enter the general lexicon of English.

The first known use of the meaning defined above was in 1966.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law.

America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws.

The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution.

No one is above the law.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.
