Donald Trump, who is still president for another 218 days, used his presidential platform to attack a private business ... again. However, even Comcast is more popular than Trump. ( CNN )

Former Vice President Joe Biden is crushing soon-to-be former President Trump among women voters, who are half the population and everything. Men unfortunately are still dumb as a bag of hair that supports an incompetent racist. ( The New York Times )

By the way, New York state has never had a woman governor and the city has never had a woman mayor. ( The New York Post )

This reminds me: Mariah Carey released her first album 30 years ago on June 12. My favorite summer song, however, is still 1991's “Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I miss when most summer activities were non-lethal.
