November 06, 2021 at 00:27

As distinct from the logic of Democrats rolling out the red carpet for Republicans on their own?

You are a nobody to me whose existence I will forget in about half a minute, I could not care less.
November 05, 2021 at 23:58
Yeah such a mystery why I'm only discussing the party in power right now. Sherlock was a stretch, I guess.
November 05, 2021 at 23:50
Lmao now you've changed the subject entirely.
November 05, 2021 at 23:48
That would be the other part of the two-part cycle, yes. I see your powers of inference are doing wonders for you, Sherlock.

Perpetuating a cycle of planetary death while pretending to do the opposite is less so.
