F Brian Williams [View all]

So maybe you heard Brian Williams's signoff the other day, but if you didn't, then it's posted below. But I say fuck you Brian Williams because the ambiguity of his statement has allowed both sides to claim he was speaking of them, or was condemning the "other side" with a stark and scary warning. Honestly, Brian, this is no time for subtlety. Trumpy members of my own family have taken his words to mean the Biden administration is trying to burn things down from the inside. I am so pissed.
