A Facebook direct message from Chris Elliott stating β€œstupid fat whore”

My Facebook DMs are full of fans like Chris Elliot. Know what I do when I get a message like this? I spend the time to track them down and then send the message to their mothers and sisters and daughters.

If you’ve got the energy to send this shit to me, I’ve got the energy to out you.

So sorry David. It’s obvious that she gave so much to your life as all our pets do. I’m sure she leaves you with many fond memories to sustain you over the coming days and beyond. Warmest good wishes, David.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday β€” wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

I was very fortunate as I could read fluently before I went to school. So, I was sitting at the back of the class reading The Faraway Tree whist all the other kids were reciting The Cat Sat on the Mat. Kids need books and to be read to as soon as possible.

Opinion | Ukraine aid’s best-kept secret: Most of the money stays in the U.S.A. Almost 90 percent of funds Congress approves for Ukraine military aid is being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace ones sent from U.S. stockpiles.

JFC - we didn't SEND $140 billion to Ukraine in suitcases filled with unmarked bills. We sent them weapons, ammunition & other military supplies. 90% of the money went back into the US economy to make replacement ammunition & military supplies.

Meanwhile we’re too chicken shit to retaliate with tariffs on th US because we’ve isolated ourselves from everyone and have no leverage whatsoever.

For the love of God let’s stop pussy footing around and get to work reversing Brexit so we can have all this too πŸ‘‡
