Donald Trump is the biggest crybaby in the world. He now wants to punish Comcast because Seth Meyers made fun of him. Imagine being one of those who voted for Trump because of “free speech”?‍♂️ — Republicans Against Trumpism (@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social) January 14, 2025 at 8:52 AM Completely appropriate response, Seth: SETH MEYERS: It has come to my attention that sometimes people who do not care for me get stuck watching my show.

At her Friday confirmation hearing as Trump’s pick for DHS secretary, Gov. Kristi Noem made rambling remarks suggesting she has good working relationships with her state’s tribes: NOEM: I offered to train federal law enforcement officers, BIA officers, but also their tribal police in South Dakota, at no cost to our tribes.

Someone remind this pair of clowns that Trump and Melania didn't have the courtesy to attend Biden's inauguration. Watters was already being roasted for the hypocrisy after comments he made on his show this Wednesday about Michelle Obama refusing to attend Orange Julius' inauguration.

As a freshman last season, Colorado State’s 6-foot-7 forward Rashaan Mbemba showed glimpses of what he could do once he grew into an expanded role with the team. The Austria native played sparingly as the team’s No. 2 big man behind Patrick Cartier but made the most of his opportunities when he got on the court. He averaged 11 minutes per game off the bench, scoring 3.8 points and grabbing 2.2 rebounds per contest, reaching a then-career high in points (13) twice, against San Jose State and Creighton. CSU head coach Niko Medved and his teammates knew that Mbemba could be something special, and teammate Nique Clifford emphasized that during Mountain West Conference media days before the start of the season while providing some foreshadowing to what the big man would do this season. “The thing for Rashaan is, he’s been playing against grown men for what, since he was like 13 years old,” Clifford said.
