Do you also think you are superior for not buying stuff on Amazon? Well I got bad news for you because Amazon owns a lot of the internet too! Literally everything is Amazon. But wait, there's more!

Is this the end of Amazon??? I wish but maybe it will be some kind of consequence for the destruction that Amazon has caused society. They really are just straight up the worst and maybe the US government will actually do something about those laws we have that are meant to prevent things from being how they currently are. But sure, socialism is the real evil... egg jeff bezos Become a supporter o...

Who is to blame for Trump getting elected? The title might lead you to think it is the right, but don't worry because according to Charles the Democrats were really asking for it. Today we are talking about How the Right Lost It's Mind by Charles J.

"Anonymous" tells us about some of Trump's greatest moments, like all the times he got so stoked on a picture he had to show everyone, the time he threw starbursts at Angela Merkel, and all the thousands of times he just made shit up. Also "Anonymous" is not the same "Anonymous" who wrote Go Ask Alice, so there are no w...
