At this point I’m fine with the Family Feud host being traded for a future draft pick, and I feel safe in saying his cookout credentials have been revoked.

Why Are We Threatening Crazy Uncle North Korea?
Everyone except this dumb-ass administration knows that North Korea is the crazy uncle in Grandma’s basement that you don’t bother because he’s unstable.

Well, This Is Awkward: TrumPutin to Meet With German Chancellor Angela Merkel After He Talked Mad Shit About Her
During his presidential campaign, Vladimir TrumPutin made a habit of talking recklessly about German Chancellor Angela Merkel. In fact, Merkel became an anecdote in the wildly spun tale of how a country turns to shit once it lets refugees in. Most of TrumPutin’s 2016 campaign fodder was about what a great country Germany used to…
