    There’d also be slightly more explanatory potential if they weren’t dogmatically ignoring United States history. Like, we’re funding and arming a group of people with the idea of locking Russia into a costly conflict – now why does that sound so familiar? This is the preamble to consequences that are going to define the next few decades, if not the rest of the 21st century, for both the United States and the European Union. And yet we’re still talking about it in a –“Home in time for Christmas, by Jingo!” – sorta way. It’s already been two years!

      What are we up to now… is it Gladio-C?

      I worry that we’re going to run out of letters in the alphabet and we’ll have to start resorting to COVID naming protocols if this shit keeps up. This is a matter of national security!!

          This one really got me. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.

          (Poor kid though. Imagine being Elon Musk’s child and being named like you’re a robot who does a bit-part role in a Star Wars movie. Either is bad enough but both?

          I can’t wait until they grow up to be yet-another nepo billionaire shilling crypto and dick pills so that I can feel vindicated for participating in their online bullying back when they were still an infant.)

            Doesn’t muskrat have a kid who’s Trans and hates his fucking guts? There’s always hope for children as they can develop into their own people separate from their environment they were nurtured in
