Those are all good questions.

Add Dennis Miller, Louis CK, and Tim Allen to the latter list as well.
Brilliant take.

I have a simple rule. Someone makes fun of me, they can fuck off forever. I’m sure he had the best of intentions when he proudly announced he was a terf. I’m sure Dave had nothing but love in his heart for his trans friend that committed suicide... right after saying her vagina leaked beet juice. So thanks Dave, your…
Do they WANT federal investigaitons? Because this is how you get federal investigations.
