From the moment that Donald Trump was elected for the first time in 2016, his negative influence has been a constant shadow looming over the United States. He has stacked the U.S. Supreme Court with judges favorable to the conservative agenda, started a crusade to strip transgender people of their rights, and cut domestic and global HIV funding.
But while he was using his time in office to make decisions that make every Democrat's blood boil, he has also been consistently embarrassing himself at every turn.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace launched a new attack on drag queens this week, but the Drag Race divas are hitting back.
The South Carolina conservative drew attention during a congressional hearing when she displayed photographs of Drag Race host RuPaul and stars Kandy Muse and Joey Jay as she argued that drag “sexualizes” children.

        JD Vance Can’t Stop Thinking About Joe Biden’s “Suggestive” Ice Cream Tongue Technique

Being a man in today’s world is a dangerous and sad proposition. There’s a loneliness epidemic to contend with, looksmaxxers are telling you that your jaw is off-kilter by a few degrees from being an isosceles triangle, and now, apparently, eating certain foods in public is a problem? At least, that’s what vice president JD Vance seemed to suggest when he told Joe Rogan that former president Joe Biden’s penchant for a good ice cream cone was apparently … sexual? 
While appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience on Thursday, Vance served up two scoops of weird as he started talking to Rogan about Biden’s well-documented love of ice cream, when all of a sudden he seemed to suggest that Biden’s cream-licking technique might have been a bit of a panty dropper.

This story originally appeared on The Advocate.

Kristi Noem is leaving her husband of 34 years, Bryon Noem, according to Daily Mail. Let the memes commence!
As background, Kristi's mother, Corinne Arnold, revealed in the exclusive report Friday that the two are officially splitting up after photos of Bryon wearing simulated breasts and tight garments were leaked online earlier this year. In those bombshell April reports, also from the Daily Mail, Bryon allegedly sent explicit messages to adult entertainers in an online fetish community under a pseudonym "Crystal" and expressed an interest in "bimbofication," a sexual role-play in which a person adopts exaggerated feminine characteristics and behaviors.
