There’s no way any sane, informed person would trust him with their money.

That means there’s a huge untapped market out there.

My heart goes out to the thirteen year old boys who read this and thought “oh fuck!”

McDonald’s has some beef with today’s largest meat packers.

I would have been disappointed if there wasn’t a line like this in the story somewhere. It practically writes itself.

Media critics have accused them [CBS] of cowing to MAGA Republicans.
