Nothing at all. It&#8217;s cold. The only thing on is the NBA and NHL. The libs are extra insufferable today. My kids have had a cough for two weeks now. Not sick. Just a cough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">It&#8217;s just one of those winter Thursdays, I reckon. This is where we really have to grind. When we&#8217;re in October and I talk about &#8220;the grind&#8221; paying off \u2026 this is what I mean. It&#8217;s not all ham and eggs around here. Adversity builds character.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Let&#8217;s get to building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Welcome to a Thursday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/nightcaps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Nightcaps<\/a> \u2013 the one where MAGA babe Margo Martin tells the lefties to kick rocks with party newcomer Nicki Minaj. That&#8217;s right. I said Nicki Minaj! Certainly her first time in this class.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">What else? I&#8217;ve got Kathy Griffin leading the Lib-bellion, Tyrann Mathieu somehow making a worse decision than using a fake penis (you&#8217;ll see), and Carrie Underwood loves Trump&#8217;s new gold card! Or, you know, something like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Grab your best gay batman costume from the closet, and settle in for a Thursday &#8216;Cap!<\/p>\n<p>You have to respect the effort here\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That&#8217;s right. I said GAY BATMAN costume. Sure, you probably don&#8217;t have one lying around because you&#8217;re sane, but that ain&#8217;t the case everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Let&#8217;s go ahead and get this class started by heading out west to Santa Clara, where ICE is apparently ON THE PROWL:<\/p>\n<p>The Libs have HAD IT<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I mean, I got nothing. Not today. I don&#8217;t have the energy today. I just respect it. That&#8217;s all. Listen to the passion in this bat&#8217;s voice. He&#8217;s not messing around, clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not begging you, I&#8217;m f&#8211;king DEMANDING that you act \u2026 with some semblance of a f&#8211;king spine! DO SOMETHING!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Incredible. This is the left, boys and girls. Soak it in. These are the people we&#8217;re up against. We&#8217;ve been re-watching Parks &amp; Rec the past few weeks \u2013 better than The Office, by the way \u2013 and this is literally the type of stuff you see on there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Except this is real life. These are REAL people! This is a real person who woke up today, put on a Batman costume, drove to City Hall, and demanded action against ICE. Now, I don&#8217;t know why the post says he&#8217;s gay, beyond the fact that a heterosexual man would never do this. But, whatever, I won&#8217;t question it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">What an amazing time we live in. Exhausting, sure. But also, when are we EVER going to get #content like this again? It&#8217;s sort of like the crappy Thursday Night Football games we complained about last fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">What I wouldn&#8217;t GIVE for a 13-10 Raiders\/Colts game tonight. No offense to either team. Well, a little. You get my point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyway, Gay Batman isn&#8217;t the only lib short-circuiting today. We&#8217;ve had an AVALANCHE of piping hot takes from that side \u2013 from here all the way to Japan!<\/p>\n<p>Tyrann, Margo &amp; Carrie!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I mean, what a WEEK! They&#8217;ve officially snapped. I&#8217;ve often wondered what the left snapping would look like, and I think this HAS to be it, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Bruce Springsteen wrote, quite possibly, the shittiest\/funniest song possible because of Minnesota. Lady Gaga let the people of Tokyo HAVE it. Gus Fring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/culture\/deranged-breaking-bad-star-says-its-time-overthrow-donald-trump-rich-white-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">from \u2018Breaking Bad\u2019<\/a> is proposing just straight up invading Washington DC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">And then there&#8217;s Kathy Griffin \u2013 a literal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/culture\/disgusting-walking-nightmare-kathy-griffin-assembling-team-take-down-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">walking nightmare.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s time to talk to the neighbors in real life. It&#8217;s time to talk to your neighbors. Find out if they&#8217;re MAGA or not. Sorry, but we have to know who&#8217;s on our team and start to plan. Is there a way we can do something as a community?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Amazing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">This one is easy for me. All of my neighbors are MAGA. I don&#8217;t have to ask. I live across from a horse farm, down the road from a billion cows, and on a street where neighbor Eddy constantly replenishes each front yard with a new American flag every six months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">We&#8217;re all set down here, Kathy! Good luck, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">OK, let&#8217;s rapid-fire this dreary Thursday class into a big Thursday night! First up? How about this humdinger from LSU legend, Tyrann Mathieu?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Okeedokee! For those of you reading this and sweating out a drug test from the &#8216;ol 9-5 next week, cross &#8220;bleach&#8221; off your list. Looks like it does NOT work. Weird.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">As you guys undoubtedly know by now, I played baseball for, easily, the worst DIII team in America. And I mean easily. We were dead last on the field, but buddy, we dominated the Saturday night party scene. We always took pride in that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyway, one time during my senior year, we were all on the crappy little bus on the way home from a practice, and our coach \u2013 who was DRIVING, if that tells you anything \u2013 randomly said, &#8220;Yeah, DIII is going to start drug-testing this season, so be on the lookout for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">You could hear a pin drop in that van. It was DEAD silent the rest of the way. The group chats started flying in the car. The panic was palpable. Everyone was cooked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Luckily, it was just a joke. He never told us that, but the drug tests never came. We got to play all season!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">We finished 2-27. Time of my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Next? American Idol is BACK this week (yep, still going on), and, with it, comes Carrie Underwood!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Carrie Underwood &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Lady Gaga. Not even close. What a bloodbath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Side note: I can&#8217;t believe American Idol is still a thing. I grew up with Simon, Randy and Paula. That was in 2002!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">2002!!!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">OK, that&#8217;s it for today. We did it. We got through it. Now, we&#8217;re one step closer to Friday. Thank goodness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Take us home, Margo, Karoline, and \u2026 Nicki!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">OutKick Nightcaps is a daily column set to run Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. (roughly, we\u2019re not robots).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Which lib outburst has been your favorite this week?
