So EXTREMELY on the nose for both Trump presidencies, except for the government being the ones arguing FOR "nonstandard" people being people..
Then again, betraying all the other stated principles of their ideology in favor of collecting more tariffs IS very typical too, so swings and roundabouts 🤷
Love the very British-sounding “swings and roundabouts”, do you mean car roundabouts? Or do you call the spinny things on the playground that send you to another dimension roundabouts too? That’d make more sense than the car one with swings involved
I get the vibe the phrase means something like “it all evens out” as well
It's pretty easy to see why some people are skeptical of everything in this age of clickbait, AI shit, and disinformation. Asking if it's real is perfectly acceptable.
People also seem to forget, just because there is an article about it, doesn't mean it's real either.
Like in this instance, there is nothing actually backing up any of these claims. Reading the article, I think it's just as likely that the toy companies don't give a shit. Even if you take his word as truth, being threatened by an intermediary law firm is meaningless. Their entire business model revolves around finding any reason to threaten a lawsuit and relying on settlements from idiots who are too stupid to tell them to pound sand.
Probably not, unless he's one of those priests who follows the socialist teachings of Jesus rather than church dogma, but I was just joking, I don't know much about the dude.

I don't know why people are even accusing him, that day he spent 12 hours helping me prepare for my bar mitzvah and I'm not even Jewish. Good man.

More like billionaire pedophiles are a special class of people that get extra rights. All other mutants get the shaft.

Trainwiz has a long way to go. Are there any socialist/communist theory stuff that Trainwiz can study?

Maybe the writings of Wibert Awdry
