Guys, Oprah was at the Royal Wedding! I read that the day before, she changed her dress when she realized it was too close to white. Because it's rude to upstage the bride by wearing white, when you're already upstaging the bride by being Oprah.

Earlier this morning, Trump tweeted that the FBI spied on his campaign, and called it "one of the biggest scandals in history!" Then Mike Pence fed him a warm bottle of Diet Coke, burped him, and rubbed his back until he fell asleep.
That's right, Trump's claiming the FBI spied on his campaign, and said it could be one of the biggest political scandals in history. Then Hillary was like, "Um, I can think of a bigger one!"
