The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

Chris Rufo's disastrous takeover of New College in Florida shows what universities would become if they sign the Trump regime's extortionary "compact."

New College was supposed to model the anti-woke conservative higher-ed Americans crave. Instead, it showed the opposite, and serves as a warning.

Also, from his wikipedia:

Wikipedia quote: "Cowen is a teetotaler, stating he is "with the Mormons" on alcohol,[35] later stating: "I encourage people to just completely, voluntarily abstain from alcohol and make it a social norm".[36] Notably, he also believes AI actresses being virgins is an important benefit of the technology"
