So you allow them to influence other people with their ideas?

I’m prepared to trust other people’s intelligence to see through it, and if they can’t, fuck them as well.

And you don’t engage with bad faith arguments. Just tell them to fuck off and grow a brain.

That’s not any better.

If anyone dealing with him doesn’t get paid up front, that’s on them at this point, though.

How many of them were there willingly?

TIL. At least there was significant push-back over it.

Any system that relies on everyone acting in good faith is flawed from the get go. You were just lucky until you weren’t.

Here it is.

God. That was only as recent as the 20th of May. Seems like forever ago. Can we drain the zone, please?

The lads at Redlettermedia loved it, and that’s good enough for me.

My second paragraph covered that, I thought.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps with that rugged individualism, I guess.

What about if the USA attacks a NATO country? I know that sounds insane, but it’s a very real possibility with the looneys in charge right now.

What’s good for the goose…

Sounds like someone just looking to pick a fight. Disengage.

That said, I reckon as long as they’re not hurting anyone, people can be whatever they like. Mind your own business. It’s a slippery slope to start considering whether a fellow human is ‘valid’ or not.

Still seems like a bad idea to me. I honestly don’t even know how they’re appointed here in Australia, because this shit never, ever comes up.

It’s weird how polarising he is. I wouldn’t say I’m a ‘fan’ as such, but I do think he’s one of the most remarkable and fun to watch actors ever. Every role he puts in 1000%.

He crossed it when he openly flouted the Emoluments Clause on day one of his first term, and has been doing it daily since, so a few more than that.

But hey, America keeps letting him, so why would he stop?

More likely they were promised payment, but have yet to collect.

Didn’t some Fox blithering idiots interpret that as a death threat or something a few weeks ago?

Even so, he’s known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn’t there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?
