I'm sure Matt Gaetz will give him a job once he's fully exonerated.

Is he short?

He looks rather short.

I wonder if that got to him. Seems to be a weirdly touchy thing to some.

Right wing, insecure short dudes who don't know how to talk to girls are some of the absolute worst people on the planet.

Meanwhile I knew a guy around the size of Warwick Davis who had to stay in a wheelchair, or at least used a cane and other mobility aids when he was at home. Outgoing, great sense of humor. Threw great parties. Got cute goth babes like, every other week. Just the nicest dude you ever met.

The difference is accepting who and what you are and learning to love it and trying to find something worth enjoying in life.

Self love leads to love of others.

Wanting it bad is also so unattractive. My heart is happier hearing about a Warwick Davis dude fucking goth cuties.

Just another antisocial, fantasist incel loser who gravitated towards extremism. This asshole can now enjoy prison for the rest of his life.

Or a pardon. Conservatives get those.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe a cabinet position. I hear Secretary of Defense might be open soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Great idea!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Some conservatives get those.

Mass shooters don't tend to get that treatment.

It's the bridge too far scenario. If this little shit head had joined the police department and then shot a bunch of people, the right would cheer, because that's how things work in their mind.

But becoming a rouge element and shooting random people... No that's just murder.

I'm sure there's a better way to phrase it, but I'm at the tail.end of a nasty cold and can't think straight.

His dick is, for sure.

This one of the home grown terrorists I hear about? Or does this not qualify?

/s just in case

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

He doesn’t qualify, he is one of the good ones.
