I've never been so furious. I don't really get angry, but my hot button is my brother. The Trumps are the most disgusting, repulsive, orange, weak, amphibious excuses for living flesh I've ever known. They deserve nothing from anyone. My brother is the kindest, sweetest, and most genuine human being I've ever met. And he's 100% the best bowler and mini putter I've ever seen.

My brother has cerebral palsy, and I always say "hell hath no fury like the fervor of a sibling or parent of a person with special needs!" + sparklytooth4910 hours agoJun 18, 20253:26 am@gothikcowboy "Mongoloid" was once a clinical term for Down syndrome, but it was based on racist pseudoscience and fell out of favor by the '70s[1][3]. It's still used as a slur today[4][5].* bizz40719 hours agoJun 17, 20256:53 pmEric trump, the dim-witted, chromosome-deficient, sewer monster, failed clone of Sid the Sloth, charisma-lacking, off-brand piece of floating fecal matter. -Sincerely, LA Protestors. + bizz40715 hours agoJun 17, 202510:42 pm@francesjoys I meant to say "failed version."
