I LIKE LUXURY. 2026 Lincoln Aviator Tested: Old-School Luxury.

WHAT WUSSES: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan presented engraved revolvers – with bullets – to his guests in Ankara, causing security concerns. “The question asked over and over again: why such a gift?

HAHA, HOW ABOUT “NO APPARATCHIKS” INSTEAD? NOW THAT WOULD BE A REAL CAUSE TO GET BEHIND.

Maine Democrats: "NO KINGS!!"

Also, Maine Democrats: "The plebes picked the wrong dude so we're going to choose for them."

ALSO, THEIR MONEY WOULD DRY UP:

The problem for hate studies professors is that acknowledging SPLC is a hate group would be like turning off gravity. Their world would no longer make any sense and they'd all tumble endlessly into a meaningless void. https://t.co/MlPKzkwPGH
