They think it’s OK to mistreat women again just like they think it’s OK to be racist again. It’s really worse than the 50s, because they aren’t honest about it.

get along with other people. It’s so much easier and it gives them a hard-on to dominate, so...
I grew up in a household controlled by such a person (with an “alcoholic personality”). People who are wistful for when America was “Great” either were NEVER there… or were the very shitheads of whom we speak. It was’t fucking Mayberry.

Vladimir Putin probably can actually ride a horse, though he should have kept his shirt on. Vladimir Futon, on the other hand, probably collapsed in a gasping heap right after those photos were taken. He's not seal material. Walrus, maybe, if we're talking marine mammals.

Emphasis on "anything." You'd think by now that be a little less oblivious as to just how stupid they look when they do these things. It's all performative, and they're lousy actors.

Below the sleeve i can see a tiny sliver of white arm then it becomes a burly arm

Either way even jerks can have decent arms doesn’t make their character any better

Until I see him in the line of fire he’s still just a poser.

There's absolutely no fucking way that pale, pudgy pile of rancid shit went through very much PT, if any, without coming close to death.

This is all bullshit at the highest level. I'm not convinced yet that the whole thing wasn't photoshopped or AI'd. Ain't buying it.

Vance is whipping the enthusiasm for more needless violence and murder.

Hope couch boy's future reputation is that of an evil clown and that the USA survives with a renewed positive trajectory when these screwed up times pass.
