Musk should change his name to Hunter Biden and coerce foreign entities to get rich so the DOJ ignores him.

i still find it hard to wrap my head around the fact
that the most prominent "believe all women" advocates
have now become the loudest voices in denying the extensive rape of israeli women by hamas
can anyone explain to me how this happens
The decapitated baby lie, the lies about rape— it was all to establish some moral distinction between the pile of bodies killed by Israel & the pile of bodies killed by Hamas.
Neither Hamas nor Israel respects international law. But this is the shell game played to justify…

- marry "young"

- lift weights / do pilates
