Bill Burr has been filling in quite nicely in Carlin's absence.

Carlin was the best, he was bang on about a lot of things a long time ago.

If he thought Dan Quayle was bad he would be losing his mind today.

I despise Trump but according to Reuters he never posted that.

Ironically it will be the 50% on Vietnam that will really screw Trump, vast amounts of cheap clothes that the red states rely on, all the 3XXL t shirts and sweat pants in Costco are made in Vietnam, clothing in the trailer parks of Missouri are about to increase 50% overnight, that's stuff his voters buy every week unlike new cars, they will see that price go up next week by a huge amount

Nike makes their stuff in Vietnam. The stock fell 10.00 USD after his tariff announcement yesterday.

$64USD to $54USD right now.

Turns out Trump tariffs just means US layoffs as it's still cheaper to keep manufacturing and work in countries like Vietnam with 46% tarrifs

R/Leopardsatemyface is a hillarious read today.
