His most galling statement. "It’s worth remembering that governments are not their people."

His column is an advertisement for the Saudi government. He's literally typing its propaganda.

Coming soon, Trump executive order banning inflatable cartoon animals. Putin's first act after invading Ukraine was banning puppets that mocked him.

Nothing more threatening than citizens dressed as hotdogs and unicorns.

"Just nothing made sense. The fact that he survived that long, the fact that I found him. Like, the chances that I was even up there that day, it was just, the whole situation was way bigger than me. And it emotionally just took everything out of me." 🫶

The ones who claim this have always supported Trump.

It was bad enough to support Trump before his second term. If Brandi is claiming he's persuaded her he's worthy now, she was always MAGA. Lying is like breathing to them.

This Reddit thread had me laughing out loud on the bus today.

"FOX news is going to have a hard time painting it as an act of war if we're all dressed like unicorns and hot dogs."

First thing Putin cancelled when his invasion in Ukraine started was puppets.
