  • Gaslighting at its finest!

    They constantly frame things as if the entire world is against them. It’s become repetitive and, frankly, boring.

If you’re not well-read or informed on a political issue, you shouldn’t be speaking on it to such a large audience.

These fellas used to be a little more balanced, b... more
