Is it the same fever that he had when he was flying on Epstein's jet? Sorry, we must call out all of them, not just the orange genius.

Even if it turns out he truly had no fucking idea about the slaves and was completely oblivious to the illegal pornography framed on the monster's walls, he still did a bunch of fucked up shit

The first thing that comes to mind for most people is Monica Lewinsky. If the most powerful man in the world asks you to do something you are not comfortable with, can you truly say no?

Even if you're not American, if Biden asks me to bleach my asshole and send him a photo, I'd do it, because I don't want the CIA to kill my dogs with mystery gas or somehow Pegasus my 20 year old microwave.

I cant believe people still think the POTUS is the most powerful person in the world. They don’t even take a shit without getting permission from the wall street military and prison industry profiteers that own all our representatives and social institutions.

That's a very good point and I 100% agree with you.

Although you get what I was trying to say. More about the power dynamics.

Looking at the job market now, I've got a liter of arsehole-safe bleach and a camera config setup just in case of the 0.000000001% chance my boss requires a certain image.

Hey, it's me, Joe Biden. Are you ready to send me your bleached asshole pics? I need them asap.

We all know that when you start a message with “hey, It’s me (politicians name)” that you are actually a PAC. I’ve only had those sorts of messages sent to me about getting cash donations not asshole photo donations though.

If I recall correctly, she's said essentially that herself.

She's quite the wit, incidentally.

Edit: Had to share this one too...
