"The Dallas Cowboys knelt before the national anthem as a protest, but then stood while it was being played. Their half-protest still upset many people. Conservatives immediately blasted the move, saying it disrespected the sacred minutes before the national anthem which are for using the restroom and buying nachos." -James Corden

Flint, MI. Now Puerto Rico....

What good is being the most powerful nation on the planet if we can't get drinking water to our citizens?

"Last night, a Republican named Luther Strange lost Alabama Senate primary. So now, 'Luther Strange'' will go back to his old job - a villain in a Batman comic." -Jimmy Fallon

Any fellow Texas Longhorns on this platform?
