How do you do, fellow kids?

These white criminals love Trump for pardoning them (often after paying him money). (David Bernstein)
Who will grow the food? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Guardian)
CLOWN MOTEL CLOWN MOTEL. (Fodor’s)
Cults, American society as a cult, and pilgrims, Pilgrim. Jane Borden’s Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America sounds like a good book! (Salon)
