It's Fat Tuesday, and we don't understand Mardi Gras. Why the baby in the cake? Why the jester masks? Why the colors? The desire to get beads, we understand, is deeply rooted in the tradition of having daddy issues. Every day is Fat Tuesday around here. In politics, Marco Rubio slams the globalists and the managed decline of the West. Hillary Clinton claims there are no links between the Clintons and Epstein/Maxwell. A Pokemon trading card breaks the record for most expensive trading card sold at auction. An actor who portrayed a trans serial killer apologizes. A family at a hockey game are gunned down by their trans-identifying father. Rick takes his mom grocery shopping, and she gets shin splints from Rick rushing her so much.
