And don't forget - Moonies were deep inside the Reagan White House, so this insane BS had legs at one point. 2020-07-25T03:29:12Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder Antone Melton-Meaux is like the pro-Israel Black Bob Roberts, without that fictional candidates' showmanship and willingness to only communicate his platform through song. He DOES match Bob Roberts by being a total weirdo outsider who speaks for a conservative status quo, is hooked up to big money, and would probably be an awful politician. Outside of the Bob Roberts comparisons, I find Melton-Meaux's attempts to "out-Black" Ilhan Omar bizarre and idiotic. 2020-07-25T00:32:06Z Comment by Baron OC This was a beautiful introduction, he was the best of us, and y’all did him a good service with this.

The Independent ran an op-ed agreeing it was right and proper she be sacked for retweeting an interview they published. Fucking insanity. 2020-07-22T16:17:37Z Comment by g-ne-gen Virgil is so sick at this 2020-07-22T11:49:34Z Comment by Ewan Cvorovic That's numberwang, Matt wins! 2020-07-22T09:36:12Z Comment by Prager Uranus felix needs to go to the nearest femboy hooters 2020-07-22T00:28:41Z Comment by I dunno who cares This entire segment feels very old school 2020-07-22T00:06:44Z Comment by MADmatt A good man! 2020-07-21T23:35:16Z Comment by Johann7 Oh gods, some pleaes equalize Amber's audio.
