Trump being chummy with Mamdani is a much worse look for the latter than the former. Totally defangs Mamdani's revolutionary image.
Donald Trump on Zohran Mamdani following their meeting at the White House: “I can tell you that some of my views have changed. […] I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he is going to surprise some conservative people actually, and some very liberal

Thanksgiving was a PAGAN holiday that the CHRISTIANS took over!!! Eating food was a PAGAN tradition that Christians STOLE in order to DECEIVE the PAGANS! You can honor ZEUS and ODIN this Thanksgiving by crying on Reddit about how mad you still are at your Baptist parents!!

Every couple generations we remove a load bearing rule because the problem no longer exists and find out why the rule existed.
