Actually we’re both talking about what constitutes a “a large portion”. Try not to confuse yourself with the “but moldy food isn’t people” trap.

I can’t speak for the rest of you, but here’s my list:

“Steve Bannon is what stupid people think smart people sound like.”

I always assumed Steve Bannon‘s origin story involved a bottle of Dewars and a tube of hemorrhoid cream exposed to Gamma radiation.
