76. I felt the same way when I fought back against a mugger
Sun Dec 1, 2024, 09:59 PM
Dec 1

I honestly couldn't tell who was mugging whom, and is there any difference, really?

That's a fiction; I wasn't actually mugged, but holy shit what a ridiculous false equivalence you've imagined.


Convicted felon Trump will pardon his Jan6 insurrectionists because it gives him a chubby to have ignorant fuckheads willing to commit crimes for him, and because it will annoy the Left. President Biden is pardoning Hunter because Hunter was the victim of a political hit-job.
