66. Agree. One must go with their strategic strength, not just strength.

Cabinet positions have real power, and they get things done.

I am NOT giving in to misogyny, but "hearts and minds" change rarely and slowly in most cases.

Ibran X. Kendi's conclusion hit me pretty hard. In essence, Al Davis' JUST WIN, BABY.

Speaking strategically, I would love to see candidate/President Rafael Warnock blow up the entire hypocritical, and in my mind, heretical "CINO" Nationalism movement. As heir to Dr. Martin Luther King's podium at First Street Baptist Church, I am sure that without being religious in his work, by his example, stuff their gospel of hate up their sorry asses.

But whatever works is fine. I see Putin and Netanyahu simultaneously losing their positions (and more) for the hell they have brought upon the planet.

Mexico outsmarted us. What dumbshit fools in the U.S. to live hate, projection and overall cult mentality.

The wool keeps being pulled over their eyes.




THANK YOU, SIR. MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?

What were they expecting? pleasure?
