Thank you, TPM, and thank you Hunter Walker.

He’s the bride at every wedding. the baby at every christening, and one day (not nearly soon enough!) he will be the corpse at his own funeral.

When one reporter grows a pair and says to his face, “What the fuck is wrong with you, you vile piece of shit.” Then the rest of the chickenshit lemmings will feel emboldened to stand up to the fat fuck.

But they are real Christians don’t you know.
Haven’t you seen all those crucifixes on the necks of their women folk?

Matthew 7:1-5 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?
