Trump and Anthony Scaramucci Get Into Twitter Spat After the Former White House Employee Says He’s Voting for Biden
There is a trend with ex-employees of the Trump administration and it looks like this: Bash the president that they once happily served—which is why it will always be fuck all of them. Fuck Omarosa.

Deion Sanders Blasts Athletes Who Are Opting-Out of Playing This Year Because of COVID-19: 'The Game Will Go On Without You'

Although we’re pretty much free to use whichever language we wish within the body of a piece here, headlines are different. Most profanity is fine, in the proper context.

Yesterday, I said this was bad. I just had no idea just how much worse it would get by that evening.
