Okay, we are officially in the upside-down. Whoever had “the U.S. treasury secretary gets in a Twitter spat with Guns N’ Roses’ frontman Axl Rose and then posts Liberian flag to show his patriotism” on their apocalypse bingo card wins an extra cookie today.

Steve Mnuchin: 'This is a great time for people to explore America'
Sure. You’re not working right now anyway for some reason. Right? Hit the highways. Check out some roadside diners. Jump feet first into the Grand Canyon. Why the fuck not?
