After an abysmal showing on Super Tuesday, multibillionaire former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg ended his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President, endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden.

Bloomberg was heavily criticized after deciding to run, because many felt his time and resources would be better spent on more viable candidates.

With his candidacy in the rear view mirror, Bloomberg signaled with a clip from Star Wars that he's ready to do just that.


It started in response to a Twitter screed from President Donald Trump—who refers to Bloomberg as "Mini Mike."

Bloomberg's response promised that, for Trump, the worst was yet to come.

The mayor posted a clip from the final battle of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

Vader is ultimately victorious in the duel, but Obi-Wan gives a final, apt warning:

"You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

With an absurd level of wealth at approximately $60 billion, Bloomberg could unlock a war chest of political ads, opposition research, and other forms to harm Donald Trump in a general election.

People took the clip as a sign of things to come.






The Democratic primary isn't over yet, and November is getting nearer.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
