Veritas has always exposed the obvious. I have yet to be surprised by anything they expose. I am not convinced it matters other than confirmation of what is known. Will anything happen? Nope. And most people will think it is ok. So we have major news networks shilling for the Dems and Fox shills for team R. Should that be counted as a campaign contribution for the gazzilions CNN spent to promote team blue? Then every right wing talk radio host will have to claim the same as well as numerous fox news shows. While I find it hilarious Veritas burns these losers I don’t see a point unless it can be proved criminal and I aint no lawyer so I don’t know it is criminal.

To say that they are to the point and past it that they’re overly confident and setting themselves up for a gigantic fall is an understatement.

So Hitler’s been mentioned and I’ve had a couple glasses of wine. So here goes my Hitler story. Late 1970s, at an accounting conference, I got to talking to “Lena,” another attendee. Lena was from my city, so we met for lunch a few times over the next few years until my job took me elsewhere. Here’s the story she told me.
She was born in Munich in 1933, married a G.I. in the 1950s and came to America. Her mother was a school girl friend of Eva Braun. They attended a Catholic convent school together, and her family lived close to the Braun’s house. When Eva would visit her folks in Munich, after becoming Hitler’s mistress, she would frequently have lunch or tea with Lena’s mom. Lena actually referred to her as “Aunt Eva.” Lena’s mother – after the war of course – filled Lena in on some of the things Eva told her: Wolf (as Eva called Hitler) was not very interested in sex. He enjoyed the occasional blow job and, very rarely, actually had intercourse. Supposedly, he took about 10 seconds to come. Anyway, the war came and Wolf was even more distracted, leaving Eva at Bercthesgaden alone for months at a time. Eva, being a horny young lady, said she would seduce handsome members of the guard force Hitler kept at Bercthesgaden. Obviously, the guards would keep their mouths shut (one can imagine the penalty for screwing Hitler’s mistress) and Eva wasn’t going to tell either. (I don’t recall, but the story may have included an affair with one of Hitler’s close aides who was executed near the war’s end.) Lena’s father was eventually conscripted but Eva used her influence to get him assigned to Rundstadt’s headquarters staff. After the June 1944 attempt on Hitler, they never saw Eva again. Dad ended up a P.O.W. in a French camp where German prisoners were treated perhaps a bit better than German prisoners in Soviet camps. Dad came home in 1947 with untreated diseases and died of pneumonia soon after. Eva’s opinion of the toadies surrounding Hitler was very low though she always believed Wolf was doing what was best for Germany but was being betrayed by war profiteers and Prussian monarchists.
Dad ended up a P.O.W. in a French camp where German prisoners were treated perhaps a bit better than German prisoners in Soviet camps
The French have always seen prison as an entirely punitive measure (see Devils’ Island, French Guiana, etc.) and treated their prisoners accordingly.

What shocked me was watching a show about the world’s worst prisons. They had a segment on prison in Russia. The guards carried a suitcase for the fish to their dorm. Place was all clean and bright. They acted like butlers. It was the least suffering I’ve ever seen a Russian do on film. Nowhere near as nice as Monaco, but still, way better than Los Angeles County Jail ( where I’ve stayed a few times.)

Without a doubt, Hitler had long since went stark raving mad by the time the walls were closing in on him. His fate was sealed when he decided to draw the USA into it.
If Hitler would have been a sane man and with patience, given the technological prowess they were quickly developing, we’d all be speaking German right now.

I guess I have to disagree, based upon the analysis of The Second Crusade. According to this Germany had no desire to occupy all of Europe but desired the rich croplands of Eastern Europe and Ukraine. Had the US concentrated efforts against the Japanese (who actually attacked the country) the European War would have been between the Soviets and the Germans and, regardless who lost, the West would have come out the better.

I read a biography of Von Braun a while back, and towards the end of the war he and his team decided they needed to find some Americans to surrender to, since they felt the Soviets were no better than the Nazis and they’d spent the last year or so firing rockets at civilian areas of Great Britain. Americans, on the other hand, might give them nice cushy rocket-building jobs and set them up pretty nicely.

The unasked question in all of that is why providers aren’t already doing so as a matter of basic ethics. Minors are just that, minors. Their parents are and remain responsible for their welfare. Healthcare workers aren’t the minor’s guardians and they have no right to substitute the judgment of parents with their own, and certainly not leave them in the dark. Oh that’s right, like legal reasoning, it’s about establishing a basis for an upside down world and immoral outcomes.
Other reasons given for the withdrawal include the fact that there’s nothing left to blow up, and the fact that all the troops have grown pretty bored after being there for 2 decades.

Cardio doc just called me (I’m at home). Hubby’s had a heart rate of 120-130 since about 2 am Monday night. Won’t come down with meds.
So the doc just called and said he’s in Atrial Fib and asked for permission to shock the heart to try to “reset.” He was using bunny rabbit terms until I said I’m an electrical engineer who used to work at Medtronic. He then went into actual detail.
Fingers crossed, y’all!
Unlike V-fib, which is seconds away from death, afib can go on for a while but has its own risks (as does even shocking him out of it.)

Thanks, dude. I will post an update.
All: assume no news is good news. The hospital doesnt call me that often.
Kind of a new thing happened this week. My randomly assigned primary care physician, a woman, is somewhat hard to get hold of as she is a mom of a couple of young ones and wants to be there for them.
Friday, I had to get a doc to look at my lip as followup to my ER visit Wednesday. After getting through the COVID phone gauntlet, i told the appointment nurse that i just needed anyone with availability Friday morning.
They randomly assigned me an Indian lady (last name gupta) who’s probably 35 or so. She was so good in our visits, and when I explained the reason for my injury, asked if I minded if she prayed for us, that I was rather shocked for a secular institution. (She asked because I had a cross on my neck.)
Yesterday in followup # 2 with Dr Gupta (video appointment) she evaluated the injury (aces) and then asked about my emotional well-being, my husband, and when i delivered good news her own eyes glistened a bit and she said how happy she was to start the day and week with good news.
She then said if I ever wanted to transfer PCP to her, she’d be happy to accommodate it.
In my experience, doctors have a strict “mum” policy about their colleagues. I’m tempted to take dr Gupta up on her offer to transfer.

Uh. If I’m reading this right, the dead kid pointed an airsoft gun at the cop, the cop shot him, he came out with a knife and tried to get up, and the cop shot him again. I mean, I’m down with the whole off-the-pigs thing, but I’m not having much trouble with this one…

Yeah.
Note also: there are many airsoft guns visually indistinguishable from real guns. I knew someone who collected them (replacing the tips so they were identical). There’s one emulating every type of real gun.
Probably a pretty justified shooting.

Did you all know that Trump “started an insurrection after purposely killing thousands of Americans through inaction on COVID because he was upset that people don’t like that he’s a raging lying sack of shit and so he saw better to torch the country than to save anyone but himself”?!

I can think of no good reason to add mono and diglycerides, cellulose, polysorbate 80, and carrageenan to cream. But then again, I don’t run a multimillion dollar corporation trying to cut costs at every turn. Regardless, I won’t be buying cream from that fancy French store, Target, anymore. The wife hadn’t even thought to look at the label. What other ingredients would be in cream?!

Sounds more like industrial ice cream.
I’m tempted to use real cream in my coffee instead of powdered creamer, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t keep, as I’m the only cream-taker in the house, and the little individual “pods” are overpackaged and overpriced.
Oh – and good morning!

Heavy whipping cream keeps for a surprisingly long time – a week to ten days from when you crack the cap. Plus, it tastes soooooo good, and gives you some essential fats.

I worry overmuch, at times. I am a fretful feller.
It’s Chronic. I was much worse when I was a young man. Made me do foolish, impulsive things. Now I’m more laid-back and nihilist. I can appreciate the “ideation” rather than the actual “demonstration”. In other words, I post here rather than going out and doing the crazy. It’s a good life-fit thus far.
BLM has been raking in the cash to further the cause of black America while Khan-Cullors, BLM’s cofounder and a self-proclaimed Marxist, dropped millions to live with white people.
According to the Post, her most recent purchase was a “custom ranch” in Georgia that sits on “3.2 rural acres” and features a “private airplane hangar with a studio apartment above it[.]”
I’m sorry, but aren’t radical leftists such as Khan-Cullors supposed to be boycotting Georgia? Well, I guess she doesn’t want to give up that “three-bedroom, two-bath house, about 30 minutes from Atlanta [that] has an indoor swimming pool and a separate ‘RV shop’ that can accommodate the repair of a mobile home or small aircraft, according to the real estate listing.”

Jerry Ford’s lost gold?
Yeah, notice that it was the stupid hat who mentioned it. It was supposed to be kept a secret.
Yeah that threw me. I thought it was FDR’s lost gold that Truman was looking for when he renovated the White House. Truman only claimed to be searching for the cornerstone to cover the search for the gold that FDR took when he outlawed the private possession of gold.
Supposed to be for New York until Ford told them to drop dead and kept it.

‘We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what – I think that’s propaganda’ /actual quote
“Oh, you’re with Project Veritas? So I suppose a BJ is out of the question?” /probably not actual quote
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9467611/CNN-technical-director-makes-embarrassing-admission-getting-catfished-Tinder.html
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong about this oft repeated claim, but doesn’t Veritas release full, un-edited videos of everything they cover?
Well, 5 dates at, oh let’s say at least an hour per. You really wanna watch all of that?
Because if you did, you’d be the first!
Well, that’s the point. They obviously produce edited down versions of their content, but then release the raw video, as well. The line about them selectively editing is propaganda. There’s rarely any explanation of what is dishonest, but just a blanket assertion that they did the deed.
Yeah, I have no reason to distrust them. Every assertion he’s made has been pretty solidly shown true. If someone makes a claim that he’s fudging things, he’ll trot out the proof he needs. Meanwhile, ABC, NBC, CNN, NYT, etc. just lie and lie and nobody seems to care a whit.
Veritas has always exposed the obvious. I have yet to be surprised by anything they expose. I am not convinced it matters other than confirmation of what is known. Will anything happen? Nope. And most people will think it is ok. So we have major news networks shilling for the Dems and Fox shills for team R. Should that be counted as a campaign contribution for the gazzilions CNN spent to promote team blue? Then every right wing talk radio host will have to claim the same as well as numerous fox news shows. While I find it hilarious Veritas burns these losers I don’t see a point unless it can be proved criminal and I aint no lawyer so I don’t know it is criminal.
Even criminal is fungible now. We are truly screwed. What Veritas is good for, is keeping the flame of hope alive for the people who will resist all of this craziness. That’s crucial.
Criminal is ignored these days depending on class and political status. Ya we are a banana republic. I love Veritas does this stuff don’t get me wrong, I am just under no delusion it will matter.
People who don’t care for CNN won’t like it one bit while CNN lovers and reflexive antiTrumpers will think it great. As western says, it won’t matter in the slightest.
No. If nobody was doing this kind of stuff, everybody who isn’t on board with all of this commie madness would feel alone. That’s bad.
I don’t know if they always do. I know in a few cases they have. It’s possible they always release the full video. In the cases I know of, they released the full video after their detractors made asses of themselves trying to paint the initial clip as “taken out of context.”
We know they (the media) are lying. They know they’re lying. Most of the useful idiots that support their narrative know that they’re lying. It just doesn’t matter. In the new woke Murika, facts and truth are just more facets of white supremacy.
To say that they are to the point and past it that they’re overly confident and setting themselves up for a gigantic fall is an understatement. But they’ve actually been to that point for years now and they just keep winning. So why would they even think about backing off? They’re doubling down, tripling down.
Good show, love Rocket Boy’s hat, why not? He’s the Big Boss of the The People’s Republic (got republic right there in the title.) I’ll watch again tomorrow.

Jeezus H. Stupid legislature is trying to ban preschool suspensions and expulsions because of “racial injustice”. Our no shit straight up racist piece of shit governor claims such suspensions or expulsions are due to racial bias. Not because the children are feral animals who pose a danger to other children because their fuckup and absentee parents can’t raise them right. This is going to end well.
I mean, I’d imagine a preschooler would have to go pretty far to get suspended to begin with.
That’s my thought. These kids are three and four years old. How does one do something to show being dangerous at that age? ( Actually, my kid shot me square in the eye with a nerf gun when he was 4 y/o, so there’s that.)
Narrator: It is not going to end well.

Mind Ye Olde Shoppe.
Don’t tell me what to do.
Watching some CONCACAF Champions League – Portland vs. some Honduran team.
Today I learned that the MLS season is starting soon and the Canadian teams are playing in free states like Utah and Florida because you can guess why.
Similarly, in the tennis world, the number one female player is basically couch surfing all year because her home country of Australia makes it impossible for her to ply her trade.
/Two weeks!
She was shown in the stands in Brisbane rooting for the Richmond Tigers with a beer in her hand all the time at the end of the previous season.
Ha! I saw that pic a couple times last week with that fierce expression on her face and was wondering what the story was.
Richmond, though. Hm ? Well, there’s no accounting for taste.
So Hitler’s been mentioned and I’ve had a couple glasses of wine. So here goes my Hitler story. Late 1970s, at an accounting conference, I got to talking to “Lena,” another attendee. Lena was from my city, so we met for lunch a few times over the next few years until my job took me elsewhere. Here’s the story she told me.
She was born in Munich in 1933, married a G.I. in the 1950s and came to America. Her mother was a school girl friend of Eva Braun. They attended a Catholic convent school together, and her family lived close to the Braun’s house. When Eva would visit her folks in Munich, after becoming Hitler’s mistress, she would frequently have lunch or tea with Lena’s mom. Lena actually referred to her as “Aunt Eva.” Lena’s mother – after the war of course – filled Lena in on some of the things Eva told her: Wolf (as Eva called Hitler) was not very interested in sex. He enjoyed the occasional blow job and, very rarely, actually had intercourse. Supposedly, he took about 10 seconds to come. Anyway, the war came and Wolf was even more distracted, leaving Eva at Bercthesgaden alone for months at a time. Eva, being a horny young lady, said she would seduce handsome members of the guard force Hitler kept at Bercthesgaden. Obviously, the guards would keep their mouths shut (one can imagine the penalty for screwing Hitler’s mistress) and Eva wasn’t going to tell either. (I don’t recall, but the story may have included an affair with one of Hitler’s close aides who was executed near the war’s end.) Lena’s father was eventually conscripted but Eva used her influence to get him assigned to Rundstadt’s headquarters staff. After the June 1944 attempt on Hitler, they never saw Eva again. Dad ended up a P.O.W. in a French camp where German prisoners were treated perhaps a bit better than German prisoners in Soviet camps. Dad came home in 1947 with untreated diseases and died of pneumonia soon after. Eva’s opinion of the toadies surrounding Hitler was very low though she always believed Wolf was doing what was best for Germany but was being betrayed by war profiteers and Prussian monarchists.
So stabbed in the back?
Dad ended up a P.O.W. in a French camp where German prisoners were treated perhaps a bit better than German prisoners in Soviet camps
The French have always seen prison as an entirely punitive measure (see Devils’ Island, French Guiana, etc.) and treated their prisoners accordingly.
Unlike the principality of Monaco. Their prisoners suntan on the beach while the whole event is catered by gourmet chefs. All three of them.
What shocked me was watching a show about the world’s worst prisons. They had a segment on prison in Russia. The guards carried a suitcase for the fish to their dorm. Place was all clean and bright. They acted like butlers. It was the least suffering I’ve ever seen a Russian do on film. Nowhere near as nice as Monaco, but still, way better than Los Angeles County Jail ( where I’ve stayed a few times.)
Must be for the oligarchs that fell out of favor with the regime.
Monaco having posh prisons is really not too surprising. I imagine that they were mostly serving time for not serving their purse dog on silver flatware or some other guache offense.
‘…not serving their purse dog on silver flatware…’
Hmm.. on reread there are a couple of ways of reading that and as far as I know, residents of Monaco do not have the same taste for that culinary meat as the Koreans.
I was looking for a pertinent link and found this:
“Nearly a quarter of Koreans live with a four-legged or finned companion”
https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/28/business/finance/pet-tech-dog-kb-financial-group/20210328070101296.html
“Companion,” eh?
(see below)
“pet” is just gauche
I think I would have tried like hell to surrender to the Brits but just about anyone was preferable to the Russians if you were a WWII German. Sounds like he just caught a bad break.
Near as I could tell the American Army of the day was at least marginally compliant with the laws of war as well.
It was an eye opener for me to learn, back when, that the German surrender was delayed by Wehrmacht units actually trying to fight West so they could surrender to western European or American forces rather than Soviet troops.
How long do you think it’ll take American lefties to reach that level of “respect”?
I think they’ve already decided to surrender to China rather than Russia.
I would liken the eastern front to a blood feud, no atrocity was out of bounds. The west was a stroll through the flower by comparison.
Without a doubt, Hitler had long since went stark raving mad by the time the walls were closing in on him. His fate was sealed when he decided to draw the USA into it.
If Hitler would have been a sane man and with patience, given the technological prowess they were quickly developing, we’d all be speaking German right now.
I guess I have to disagree, based upon the analysis of The Second Crusade. According to this Germany had no desire to occupy all of Europe but desired the rich croplands of Eastern Europe and Ukraine. Had the US concentrated efforts against the Japanese (who actually attacked the country) the European War would have been between the Soviets and the Germans and, regardless who lost, the West would have come out the better.
Then there were guys like this
Umm…. you know who else produced industrial ovens?
I read a biography of Von Braun a while back, and towards the end of the war he and his team decided they needed to find some Americans to surrender to, since they felt the Soviets were no better than the Nazis and they’d spent the last year or so firing rockets at civilian areas of Great Britain. Americans, on the other hand, might give them nice cushy rocket-building jobs and set them up pretty nicely.

I’m not even sure what their motivation is here, other than the left’s general dislike of things like family and marriage. It does seem like another version of the left throwing women under the bus like with the tranny thing.
Yeah, it’s an expression of distain for actual marriage. We must show deference to the mistress. They literally want to wreck anything that America has ever held dear. No matter how jaded they appear.

The unasked question in all of that is why providers aren’t already doing so as a matter of basic ethics. Minors are just that, minors. Their parents are and remain responsible for their welfare. Healthcare workers aren’t the minor’s guardians and they have no right to substitute the judgment of parents with their own, and certainly not leave them in the dark. Oh that’s right, like legal reasoning, it’s about establishing a basis for an upside down world and immoral outcomes.

Unlike V-fib, which is seconds away from death, afib can go on for a while but has its own risks (as does even shocking him out of it.)
My bet is that he has a pacemaker installed before he crosses this house’s threshold again. I always wondered if my 1 year at Metronic was a mistake; Answer: Nope.
You are a strong woman HS. I hope this works for your husband.
Thanks, dude. I will post an update.
All: assume no news is good news. The hospital doesnt call me that often.
Damn cross-post.

Just resolved it (temporarily, natch) but will keep it in mind. I suppose I can make the same offer now that I’m rested.
Thanks, Tox.
I am entertaining myself with Tom Woods podcast catchup.
Does the fact that I enjoy that mean I need medical help myself?
Oh look, Malice.
(Why did I choose the esoteric TOG and not something easier and vaguer like Lisa Simpson? oh well.)
Technically, aren’t all of these videos clip shows?
Boo. I say boo, sir.

Kind of a new thing happened this week. My randomly assigned primary care physician, a woman, is somewhat hard to get hold of as she is a mom of a couple of young ones and wants to be there for them.
Friday, I had to get a doc to look at my lip as followup to my ER visit Wednesday. After getting through the COVID phone gauntlet, i told the appointment nurse that i just needed anyone with availability Friday morning.
They randomly assigned me an Indian lady (last name gupta) who’s probably 35 or so. She was so good in our visits, and when I explained the reason for my injury, asked if I minded if she prayed for us, that I was rather shocked for a secular institution. (She asked because I had a cross on my neck.)
Yesterday in followup # 2 with Dr Gupta (video appointment) she evaluated the injury (aces) and then asked about my emotional well-being, my husband, and when i delivered good news her own eyes glistened a bit and she said how happy she was to start the day and week with good news.
She then said if I ever wanted to transfer PCP to her, she’d be happy to accommodate it.
In my experience, doctors have a strict “mum” policy about their colleagues. I’m tempted to take dr Gupta up on her offer to transfer.
I’m so naive about insurance, I don’t know how to locate a PCP, or even how to use this insurance thing that I have,
Hurray x2!
I suppose it depends how much choice you have. And some people prefer a doctor nearer to work rather than home.
Is she hot?

Also, Tres Sr. (age 81) just had a pacemaker/defibrillator installed and was out that day. Other than some activity restrictions (which he bitched about) to give time to heal, he’s been just dandy.

The whole thing has been so weird.
I don’t get it. Is the ADA paid hourly? I’d have figured he’d be
salaried. As such, while there may be some sort of work rule
he violated, if he did his job, he did what he was paid to do.
What exactly is there to “repay”?
*shrug*

“The teenager was white, as is the trooper who shot him, according to Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley.”
That’s all that matters really.
And nothing else happened.
Uh. If I’m reading this right, the dead kid pointed an airsoft gun at the cop, the cop shot him, he came out with a knife and tried to get up, and the cop shot him again. I mean, I’m down with the whole off-the-pigs thing, but I’m not having much trouble with this one…
Yeah.
Note also: there are many airsoft guns visually indistinguishable from real guns. I knew someone who collected them (replacing the tips so they were identical). There’s one emulating every type of real gun.
Probably a pretty justified shooting.
Did you all know that Trump “started an insurrection after purposely killing thousands of Americans through inaction on COVID because he was upset that people don’t like that he’s a raging lying sack of shit and so he saw better to torch the country than to save anyone but himself”?! Sorry, kinda tiresome topic, but ?.
(I count at least four things wrong with that sentence.)
You don’t say!
You appear to be avatarless at the moment. Did you finally strip, as you challenged me to do yesterday?
Didn’t mean it like that! 😉 Funny how I’d never seen that video before.
Yeah, am still deciding on one.
I was hoping to find a clip of Johnny himself, but this was the shortest with the actual quote I wanted.
Be brave! Show your face like I do! ::neglects to mention how many years ago pic was taken::
Er, I meant the Adam Ant from yesterday. But national treasure Dana is always welcome.
Nobody wants to see my ugly mug. So I’m a supervillain instead.
I can think of no good reason to add mono and diglycerides, cellulose, polysorbate 80, and carrageenan to cream. But then again, I don’t run a multimillion dollar corporation trying to cut costs at every turn. Regardless, I won’t be buying cream from that fancy French store, Target, anymore. The wife hadn’t even thought to look at the label. What other ingredients would be in cream?!
Sounds more like industrial ice cream.
I’m tempted to use real cream in my coffee instead of powdered creamer, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t keep, as I’m the only cream-taker in the house, and the little individual “pods” are overpackaged and overpriced.
Oh – and good morning!
That sounds like Dire Straits:
“but worst of all young man you’ve got industrial ice cream”
Heavy whipping cream keeps for a surprisingly long time – a week to ten days from when you crack the cap. Plus, it tastes soooooo good, and gives you some essential fats.
^^ This is what I use.
I don’t put anything in my coffee, but I love me a White Russian made with heavy cream. Also, when making kraft mac-and-cheese, I sometimes sub heavy cream for the milk. That kicks it up a notch. bam.
Trader Joe’s or Straus. Cream cream, not half and half?
sup’ fam ?
The new normal.
Just taking the MRAPs and Deuce and a halfs out for a spin to blow the carbon out.
Nuthin to see here.
Good morning, alles!
At least I can testify that hubby’s electric recliner/lift chair is comfy. I seen to have fallen asleep in it last night for at least 4 hours last night. Woke up with an empty bowl of wild mushroom risotto on the table next to me and a very happy calico cat asleep across my lap.
Now I’m in my real bed to finish the night’s sleep. Have a nice day, all.
I read that as “empty bowel”
Nevermind, Ive been up all night.
That’ll be along shortly, assuming this cat’s digestive tract is just about as well-suited to mushroom risotto as any feline ????
I know it’s too late for a response, CPRM but I hope that you make that move if it results in greater health and happiness.
I worry overmuch, at times. I am a fretful feller.
Fret-stus ?
Nah….doesnt ring as well as YUFUS
And I love you (platonically), Friend!

It’s Chronic. I was much worse when I was a young man. Made me do foolish, impulsive things. Now I’m more laid-back and nihilist. I can appreciate the “ideation” rather than the actual “demonstration”. In other words, I post here rather than going out and doing the crazy. It’s a good life-fit thus far.

I don’t think that chick is capable of those sorts of landings. More like pancakes the landing gear and smothers the poor strip when she dozes off.

Too soon he says. Opened up too soon.
OFFS. Fuck that guy.
Oldish, fat… I can see why he’d think that.
Sitting in his big, fat mansion getting Uber-eats delivered to his big, fat mouth. Can you imagine what “Rosita” has to put up with every morning when she cleans the terlit? I can.
Is there anything more despicable than a fat communist? It proves you’re not truly living the lifestyle.
You see this is why Michigan leads us in COVID cases. Whitaker just wasn’t strict enough.
