Looks like trump once again missed out on using his own "You're Fired!" line. I mean, come on, that's what he was elected for, right?

So I guess Comey was fired because he still could not produce evidence damning Crooked Hillary to hell.

And the FCC is investigating Colbert thanks to all the horrible Trump supporters who are upset at their precious Trumptator being insulted.

Well, let's be fair, here. I don't think that Donald Trump's mouth would ever, as Stephen Colbert so artfully put it, be Vladimir Putin's (ahem) "cockhoster".

Why? Well, how do I put this delicately? I don't think Vlad does anal.

I dunno. I hear there's quite a few people who say they're against something they actually do.

To be fair, I don't think Colbert was actually suggesting that either man was either bi or gay. . .but rather that their relationship was that of, excuse the language, john and whore in a back alley.

I made this wild guess I pulled out of my ass before reading about the official letter (perhaps even before it became known). I'm both amused and shocked that the official reason in part does not deviate far from this!!! And the unofficial reason that everyone except some lackeys is believing in is so much more sinister...

Rest in peace, Robert Miles.

The Children of the Dream will miss you...

Jim Jones, Lt. Col. Andrew Tanner, Philip Marlowe, "Curly" Bill Brocius, Flavius Aetius, Cy Tolliver, Senator Ethan Roark, and President Noah Daniels have all left us today. Farewell, Powers Boothe.

[Don Alexander]

Knew him mostly as Roark from Sin City. Impressive actor.

But in better news, Sheldon Cooper married! And a guy!! Poor Amy Farah-Fowler...

Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, is dead at 52.

Damn, gone too soon. Listened to "Black Hole Sun" in tribute.

[Don Alexander]

I'm not a Soundgarden fan, but Much too soon!!!!!

Also, Roger Ailes died. I'm not a Fox News fan, but... actually but nothing.

['J']

One can only assume that Ruppert Murdoch finally claimed his soul.

[Azrael]

Well, shit biscuits. IMO Cornell was the best thing that came out of Seattle during the whole grunge movement.

[yiraheerai]

Cornell's death was also ruled a suicide according to the Facebook trend links.

[Don Alexander]

OMFG Manchester...
