Donald Trump got an 83% ($25 million) discount on his tax bill after “longtime friend” Chris Christie graduated from U.S. attorney for New Jersey to governor of the state, the New York Times reports, citing public records.
Christie and his big mom pants are now top advisers to the Trump campaign, which as we all know is a false-flag operation to drumpf up publicity for the Trump TV media empire, meaning we may see Christie in the barber’s chair at Wrestlemania 2018.

That military industrial complex doesn’t finance itself.

Pleasantville’s Nia Ali won the silver medal in the 100-meter hurdles in Rio. Fun fact: She has a 15-month-old (reportedly) son, Titus. “I have a fifteen-month-old and I’m not winning any Olympic medals anytime soon,” the Howler’s colleague said when she was asked if it was sexist to point this out.
I’m just surprised she’s able to run at all with one of those vampires hanging around.
