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”?♂️

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.
This Thursday Watters brought on Trumper Kid Rock to pile on and complain about how disrespectful the angry Black woman was being for not attending:
WATTERS: So is this your first inauguration?
ROCK: No.

Donald has previously expressed interest in pardoning Adams.
Ya gotta love it: The Biden administration has pushed out nearly all available funds from the signature climate and economic laws as the White House works to ensure his work survives the incoming Trump administration. Via USAToday:
The federal government has awarded 99% of existing grant funding for clean energy, infrastructure and manufacturing projects, totaling about $750 billion, according to a new 75-page White House report obtained by USA TODAY that breaks down the spending before Biden leaves office Monday.
As Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office for a second time, he claims to have a “massive” mandate to enact his destructive agenda. But new polling shows that’s far from the truth.
A NPR/PBS News/Marist College poll released Wednesday shows that just 44% of Americans view Trump favorably, while 49% view him unfavorably.
