Captain America Delivers a Harsh Rebuke of the President of America

By Dustin Rowles | Pajiba Love | July 16, 2018 |

OK, first of all, Kathleen is absolutely right about who the real best Chris is. However, she is wrong not to defend him for driving a Wagoneer. That just makes him more endearing. He’s like a Dad without the kids! (Lainey)

Jesus Effing Christmas, shut the hell up, Meghan Markle’s Dad. You’re her father. Let the woman have some peace for God’s sake. (Celebitchy)

The Pete Davidson/Ariana Grande engagement may become the Pete Davidson/Ariana Grande wedding (mistake) much sooner than we thought. (Dlisted)

“I Have Sincere Questions About WTF Hailey Baldwin Is Doing.” SAME, Fug Girls! Oh, with her clothing? Oh, sure, that too. (GFY)

While the current President is selling out the country, here’s where our former President is at the moment. COME BACK, BARACK! (Essence)

An Asian-American man was called N-word (repeatedly) for posting a Fuck Trump sign in his yard, proving that Bernie and/or Hillary voters can be racist, too (obviously). (NextShark)

Awwwww! Dads bonding over a photo of a daughter’s chest. I hope that when the time comes, I am strong enough to refrain from leaving comments on my kids’ social media accounts.

I know you guys are dying to know the most popular theories regarding how The Walking Dead is going to handle the death of Rick Grimes. (Uproxx)

I know it’s a tough ask on Amazon Prime Day, or really in general for many of you, but it’s the least I can do for the week, especially after having seen Sorry to Bother You.

Warehouse workers @amazon are on strike through Prime Day (16th) in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and England.

DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE! Don't use Amazon for the week! #Amazon #AmazonStrike

Look: I know as well as you know that words don’t mean a goddamn thing without some action behind them, but McCain’s condemnation of Trump was forceful as hell. (WashPo)

Listen to Captain America, y’all. If he only drove a Wagoneer, he could be Best Chris.

This moron, puppet, coward sided with Putin over our own intelligence agencies! On a world stage!! BASED ON NOTHING MORE THAN PUTIN’S WORD! Why?? Can ANYONE answer that?? What the hell is happening. Politics aside, this is 100% un-American. Where are you @GOP????

I don’t even know what to say. Today was a disgrace. @realDonaldTrump embarrassed America and should be ashamed of himself. Shame on anyone who chooses to ignore Russia’s interference in our democracy for the sake of Trump’s political well-being. I’m at a complete loss.

In case it wasn’t obvious, the gun rights org they are referring to here to the NRA.

DOJ TODAY charges Mariia Butina, 29, a Russian citizen residing in Washington D.C in Conspiracy to Act as an Agent of the Russian Federation Within the United States—with her efforts focusing on a "guns rights organization" trying to influence US foreign policy toward Russia. pic.twitter.com/bU76NtMw0b

Every Russia expert I spoke to said Maria Butina's interactions w/the NRA had all the trappings of a Russian influence operation. Today, DOJ announced Butina's arrest for "conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation within the United States" https://t.co/iFU9omxgHH

And yeah, it’s as bad as it looks.

Also, here’s Trump basically telling Mariia Butina in 2015 that he would lift sanctions against Russia. NO COLLUSION.

Here's Trump in 2015, suggesting to Maria Butina (Russian crime boss Alexander Torshin's special assistant) that he would lift sanctions on Russia.

"I believe I would get along very nicely with Putin… I don't think you'd need the sanctions."
