Melissa Cronin · 11/23/15 08:03PMGot Trump's Video of "Thousands and Thousands" of New Jersey Residents Cheering on 9/11? We'll Pay For It
Ashley Feinberg · 11/23/15 05:38PMOn two separate occasions this weekend, increasingly less-crypto crypto-fascist Donald Trump made reference to a video of thousands of Arab-Americans in Jersey City, New Jersey cheering as the Twin Towers fell on 9/11. Thus far, absolutely no one has been able to verify this claim, most likely because the video never actually existed in the first place. But on the infinitesimally small chance it is out there and you’ve got it—we want to see it and we’re willing to pay.

Andy Cush · 10/06/15 05:04PMI think my teddy bear knows I’m high. Do I stink? I think I stink. There’s something really foreboding about the shape of that telephone.
