—Comedian Luke Borchard pops by for a visit.

—Oh, the hilarity.

Anyone with an IQ above 70 knows that Tim Pool and his ilk are horrible people with horrible takes on (pretty much) every subject, but to have it confirmed that they were unwitting Russian assets?

So, so funny.

When you can’t tell the difference between your incredibly stupid thoughts/ideas, and that of Russian propaganda, you might want to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

None of them will, but they should.

Hopefully this gets bigger.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious to find out that bags of hot garbage like Charlie Kirk and/or Ben Shapiro were duped, too?

—The Washington Commanders fired Rael Enteen, their vice president of content.

Why?

Because he accidentally told the truth while being set up by an undercover reporter.

Enter thought he was on a date, but it was a sting.

The “reporter” (used loosely) got him to say out loud what everyone already knew about the NFL: they’re only in it for the money.

But, when honesty rears its ugly head, scapegoats must be sacrificed.

That’s the way of the corporate world.

—Colt Gray is a piece of human garbage who (allegedly) shot up a school in Georgia. His dad, Colin, is a piece of human garbage who (allegedly?) bought him the gun.

Well, now they’re both being charged in the murders, and, fingers crossed, they’ll both be found guilty and be in jail forever.

If Republicans aren’t going to do anything about gun violence—JD vance said it’s a “fact of life,” and Trump said people need to “get over it”—then maybe holding parents accountable for the actions of their a-hole kids can help turn the tide.

Here’s hoping.

(A side discussion involves the infamous 1990s era case where a child burned down a mobile home in a trailer park after supposedly watching Beavis & Butthead.)

—Tucker Carlson is obviously a Russian agent, knowingly or unknowingly, but did you also know he’s a Nazi apologist?

Well, he is, because Tucker had a guest on his podcast who tried to paint Winston Churchill as the villain of World War II, and explained that the holocaust was a humanitarian action taken by the Nazis.

No.

Really.

A dude went on a podcast and said that, and Tucker nodded along thoughtfully.

Because that’s what the worst people on the planet do.

—What do you do when you’re too dumb to make an important decision? You write to an online advice columnist.

This one made me think of Jake, so I put on my Sherlock Holmes cap and tried to suss out the state of his marriage.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.

Tune in and get your giggle on.
