A rude plane passenger had a meltdown because she had to sit inbetween two “big” passengers. The unidentified woman insulted two fellow United Airlines fliers she was sat between, later describing them as “pigs”. The outburst was captured on camera by one of the two passengers sitting next to the woman, on the flight from Las Vegas to New Jersey. “Oh my goodness, I don’t know how I’m going to do this for the next four hours,” the woman begins. “This is just impossible cause they’re squishing me. Like, just unbelievable.”

A woman was kicked off a United Airlines flight after ranting about sitting between “two big pigs” — a tirade caught on video by one of the passengers she was fat-shaming. “Oh my goodness! I don’t know how I’m going to do this for the next four hours!” the woman tells someone on her cellphone on the recent Las Vegas-to-Newark flight. “This is just impossible ’cause they’re squishing me. Like, just unbelievable. At least they’ll keep me warm,” she continues. “I can’t sit here because they’re both so big on left and right. I can’t even sit here.”

I had some thoughts about walls. Kind of like the front door of my house. You don't just walk into my house; you come to the front door and knock.

Some thing with this county. This is our COUNTRY. You don't just walk into this country. You want in? There are procedures you must follow. And walls. Walls are immoral? Anyone...

Weekend Update: Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With on Christmas - SNLMaybe everybody knew about this before, but I didn't. Somebody sent me a link to this SNL sketch from 9 years ago and it's sorta incredible. It's a note-perfect impersonation of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez before they even knew who she was. Enjoy it with her in mind, because they'll never make fun of her intentionally at this level of laughs. And they'll all be personally offended at all who notice the unintentional accuracy. (and that's just sposed to be septible?) I think Ben Shapiro had something to...
