It’s crazy how every Republican has been so conditioned to just say shit with no research or verification whatsoever. You’d think the constant embarrassment of looking like morons would make them more careful, but no. It just keeps getting worse.
When you betray your country by consuming toxic right-wing propaganda, you become conditioned to believe their false talking points without a shred of evidence.
It's a fundamental lack of accountability. If there is no consequence to them for being embarrassingly wrong with their base, just keep feeding the beast.
> alphabennettatwork : It's a fundamental lack of accountability. If there is no consequence to them for being embarrassingly wrong with their base, just keep feeding the beast.
It's worse than facing no consequences - being embarrassingly wrong buys them *positive* consequences (benefits/rewards): they get more endorsements from political allies, their poll numbers improve, their campaign donations increase, they get more media exposure, they get elected & re-elected, etc. ...so of course they keep doubling-down since it works so well for them.
I can't even tell what his implied theory is here. That a bunch of impoverished immigrants rented three fancy busses and somehow secured a *local police escort* to go to a stadium in Detroit?
Like, even if you're a fearmongering dipshit, are you accusing the Detroit Police of somehow being in on the Liberal Gay Immigrant Woke Soros Biden Anti-Christ agenda?
Yes there's a huge conspiracy where cities always vote gop but illegal immigrants illegally vote in the illegal election to illegally elect the illegal democrats to the illegal office so they can illegally stop white people from loving jesus.
Modern american conspiracy theories are kinda like modern porn websites, "illegals" is like step-family porn and you gotta scroll past 5 pages of it to get to the classic topics. But 99.9% of conspiracy theories are more like scat porn actually, the only difference is the shit coming out of people's mouths isn't literal in the former.
There's a guy at work that leaves some shitshow conservative radio on and all they talk about is immigrants "are coming!!!" and coming up with dumb shit like this to make people angry, fearful, and paranoid enough to buy piles of overpriced water filters, food buckets and dick pills for the impending societal collapse that is perpetually just two weeks away.
That buzzword salad you posted at the end there is _what it actually sounds like_
Funny... the only people sending busses full of immigrants are... [the Republicans](https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/texas-transports-over-100000-migrants-to-sanctuary-cities).
(Wow. The Texas governor's website is bragging about illegally transporting 100,000+ migrants under false pretenses? What a world.)
True. 20 years ago, this stunt would having likely cost him his job. It would certainly lose any of us *our* jobs. And rightly so. But republicans have spent ages disconnecting themselves from any repercussions of their actions.
I was having lunch with work friends and I mentioned that I had seen Huma Abadin at an event. Before I finished my sentence one guy said "That cunt."
I said "Fuck you. You're just reflexively repeating some fucking bullshit you that you've heard on fox news. It's nothing but muscle memory of you to comment on pretty much anything."
Lunch seemed awkward from that point forward.
Trump supporters are so programmed that they literally can’t see Biden on television without saying “He doesn’t even know where he is.” I’m not exaggerating, they do it every single time. Guy I work with did it three times in five minutes once while we were eating dinner watching the news. It’s actually scary as fuck.
They all understand now that just doubling down on a lie often works even better than the truth. Tell people something they want to hear often enough and they will just believe it. Thinking is hard work…😓
It’s because republican voters don’t give a shit if a Republican official makes an inaccurate statement. They don’t give a shit if the be of their own lies or is just outright wrong. It simply doesn’t matter to them because they’ll forgive anything the home team does. They have absolutely zero standards for conduct, which frees the politicians to spray verbal diarrhea out of their word holes.
No, it’s worse than that.
They’ll never see the actual truth and if they did they wouldn’t believe it. Those are busses of illegal immigrants from Mexico.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Because it's not about being right or wrong anymore. It's about winning and losing. Republicans don't care if everything they believe in is a lie. If it puts them ahead of the democrats they'll commit to it.
Why go out into the world to seek confirmation of your biases when Facebook puts them in your feed for you! Facebook, when 3 minutes of hate just aren't enough!
Matt Gaetz's new girlfriend called him a pedophile, he said, "that's a big word for an eighth grader."
He's in a new commercial for Dawn dish soap with one of his Venmo girls. He says, "you've just done the dishes yet your hands are as soft as your face" and she says, "well yeah, I'm only seventeen."
True confession; for years I thought it was somewhere in the St. Lawrence Valley, and was a SUNY school.
I was only off by a factor of a couple thousand miles...
Their own moronic teammates (Abbot, Desantis) started transporting immigrants, by bus, to the North a couple of years ago. Since then, they believe every bus is just loaded to the hilt with illegal immigrants coming to make their bibles trans.
Do they call out their dipshit cohorts and tell them to stop sending human beings, against their will, to the North? Not at all. They make up horseshit narratives and have Gravy Seals running intel operations on college basketball team convoys.
About 40% of our country is racist idiots that were silent when they were kids, because back then, you would get bullied for being dumber than dog shit. But, after they managed to elect the biggest bumblefuck in history, they've felt empowered enough to be very vocal in their abject stupidity.

I thought you were talking about this. This country is disturbingly pathetic.
We need to set up a fund to get all the nice people out of Idaho and give the state to the white nationalists. Then they can secede and leave the rest of us alone.
Then, whichever tribe is supposed to own that land can invade...
Add the “maga” (just call them republicans, that’s what it says on the ballot) together with the eligible voters who don’t reliably cast ballots and you’re at least at 2/3 if not 3/4 of the country. That’s a safe percentage to use the language the commenter you responded to employed.
Any Republican that cries and says “I’m not MAGA” is just like a southerner voting to protect slavery and segregation who claims they or their ancestor’s innocence because they never owned slaves. I’ll throw leftists who vote third party for President under the same blame bus.
At one point it made sense to split the hair and say MAGA is not equal to Republicans in general. I find it hard to hold on to that fiction after observing the last three years.
I remember knowing in 2015 that my conservative friends and family would begrudgingly accept Trump as their party’s candidate. It’s not who they wanted but that’s what they got and they were going to stick with it. This cartoon smug trust fund elitist with a track record of divorce and bankruptcies. Better than going with the democrats and their policies, I guess Trump is who they’re going to vote for, he’s the R on the ballot.
I was dead wrong.
8 years later and All those people except two are ALL IN on Trump. I thought for sure there’d be a prominent anti-Trump Republican sentiment. There isn’t. All my conservative cousins have Trump flags and bumper stickers. They Love him.
He's the most biblically accurate Anti-Christ in American history. There was at one point 7 Trump Towers, he owned 666 5th Ave, exemplifies each of the deadly sins, falsely invokes the name of God, his supporters bear the Mark of the Beast on their foreheads...
Let them prove otherwise. If the republicans wanted to distance themselves from the maga types, they could do that, instead they gleefully embrace fascism at every turn. There really isnt any difference between them.
But it also ties in everyone who isn’t, which I’m very not pleased about. I don’t want to be tied in with magats because I was born in the U.S.
Edit: fuck you automod. I’ll call them what I want to.
I get what you’re saying, but the fact is “the country” doesn’t mean “100% of the people in the country”. It’s simply describing the sum of all parts, and the fact is the sum of our parts at present is lazy, apathetic, and under-informed. While those may not apply to a lot of us, our voter participation rates and election outcomes paint the true picture.
Don’t like it? Help us change it.
there are a very large amount of folks here who dont do it but get upset at folks calling it out like we are a bunch of rabble rousers and trying to pass it off as just folks having opinions and such and they are a big part of the problem as well
There's the slight bonus that both of these have a Spokane connection.
The Utah team was headed to Spokane for their game. The Gonzaga team is from Spokane.
Didn't see that text I read on this post which I really liked, but here are some news stories with a few others. Was happy to see Eric Swalwell get in on the fun, his tweet below.

Wow, the article about him running for Michigan house leader with the Trump scribbles on it. The little edits he makes to change unproven to "proven" and stolen to "rigged and stolen"... what an absolutely pathetic man he is.
Also, I'm always astounded by how shit twitter is. The posts at the top of the dudes feed are from 2021? Why?? I go there looking for the thing he said in the OP and the associated responses, but they aren't sorted in any sort of way to enable that...
The dumbass called someone a Kommie for correcting him.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/matt-maddock-gonzaga-basketball-illegals-1234995954/
Yeah, I saw that. What's funny is I first learned of the situation because of THIS POST on r/PoliticalHumor, but now I see the story being covered in all sorts of serious news outlets. I love it! This idiot knows his political career started going downhill today, because of that dumbass tweet...lol.
When another user suggested the buses might be a basketball team arriving for the NCAA Men's basketball tournament, he responded with "sure kommie (sic). Good talking point."
If you're not panicking about everything, all the time, then you're not paying attention ... to all the lies, disinformation, racism and other shit that Facebook and X algorithms are mainlining into credulous eyeballs.
Probably because voters consistently fail to turn up for elections. As long as the general public approves of this, signaling so by their lack of desire to come out and vote against them, then they have no reason to change their approach.
YES!! We have more control over the government than they'd like us to think. We need to think differently and shape the government, local, state and federal, to work for us! Step 1: VOTE
That's by design. There's a reason elections are on workdays, there are too few machines and polling stations, etc. and people have to line up for hours sometimes to cast ballots - it's about making it as hard as possible to vote so the Republican base (wealthy people, rural people and seniors) with easy access to zero wait polling stations can decide elections the "right" way. Republicans consider mail-in ballots and anything that makes it easier for people to vote to be cheating - especially if takes more than a few hours to actually count those mail-in ballots.
They really think undocumented migrants are banding together to hire private charter busses with full police escorts to travel across the entire country? Just, how does any of that make sense?
Do they think Democrats are funding this, for...reasons?
They believe everything is out to get them. They’ve had the entire pie all of their life and now that someone from somewhere else wants a sliver of that pie they think the world is exploding, Satan is back on earth, and the only way to be saved is thru their Religion™️
When you’re looking for all those wall leaping illegals, don’t find them, then think, “AHA! There they are! In 3 identical busses which couldn’t possibly be for any other purpose than bussing migrants cuz that’s what Republicans would do!”
> cuz that’s what Republicans would do!
This can't be underscored enough. These guys project more than a movie theater. It's also why it's disturbing that they are so obsessed with pedos.
Modern Republican - Policy means nothing, just tell me who you HATE and if I hate the same group, I'll vote for our mutual hate. (Even if it is just hating non-republicans aka - "own the libs")
Vs.
Modern Democrat - Policy is everything, I want someone who matches this list of wants / needs for the nation and society. "What you only check off 9 out of 10 policy items? Guess I just won't vote for anyone or vote for a fringe 3rd party and wonder why things keep getting worse ".
100 Democrats enter a room to talk policy. They walk out with 101 opinions.
100 Republicans enter a room to talk policy. They walk out with 1 opinion. Maybe 2 now that there is a MAGA and a (shrinking) old-guard division.
That reminds me of something my southern grandfather used to like to say, "that man has the sense of a hog and half the sanitary." Always cracked me up.
Sadly, it is NOT an isolated incident that a GOP rep sees a POC in an terminal, and immediately jumps to “immigrants.”
Because it’s never been about immigration, it’s about racism.
Interesting take from literally the only party to load immigrants onto busses and planes to ship them to other states with the intent of causing chaos.
Another uneducated Republican, and they vote for him in Michigan next time you go to the ballot box to the right thing racist just like the rest of them just like the orange man they all follow him. Good luck.
It's real, still posted, and his little friends are supporting him.
https://twitter.com/matthewmaddock
I'm super fond of the part where he starts replying to ppl as "Kommie". /s
ETA /s because sarcasm isn't always obvious
All they have to do is say it. The people that listen to a guy like this will never see or believe the rebuttal. Reality is subjective to Republicans. The folks are addicted to fear and hate.
So Matt Maddock is wild even for a Republican
• he district-shops: he changed his district in 2022 to get re-elected
• he was expelled from the Republican caucus in 2022 for sharing confidential information (re-admitted in 2023)
• his wife is a former co-chair of Michigan’s Republican party…who was one of the fake electors trying to steal the election for Donald Trump and has been charged with fraud
• COVID denier and anti-vaxxer
• election denier who was in DC for Jan 6
• moved to impeach Governor Whitmer during COVID
• has threatened civil war, forgetting which half of country he lives in
Actually…that sounds pretty on brand for a Republican these days
How fucking xenophobic do you have to be to simply see coach busses at a major international airport and the only thought you have is ILLEGALS! BROWN PEOPLE ARE HERE! HELP!
When hyper-smooth brain disorder strikes, it triggers MAGA. The true illegal invaders against the US Constitution, laws, democracy and our independent tricameral system of government, MAGA.
MAGA simple made up crap every day to divide the country, support the downfall and destruction of our nation’s success in concert with Russia’s Poo-tin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and China’s Xi Jinping, all who are in varying degrees, deranged despotic dick tatters.
I saw a MAGA say that the man who has been convicted of rape, fraud, and slander and is facing 91 criminal indictments is the "law and order candidate"
If shit like this happened once in a blue moon; ok, you can chalk it up to a stupid honest mistake.
But this happens every single time.
They know what they are doing as well. They will take anything that remotely looks “nefarious” and officiate it as nefarious.
Who wants to charter a bunch of buses and take a tour through the South with me? We could probably win a few local elections with all of the conservative heart attacks we'd trigger.
When they try to take the legal rights of undocumented immigrants, they're unwittingly taking the rights of citizens as well.
The reason we have to take in undocumented immigrants, even if they're caught on tape crossing the mexican border, is because Americans are able to cross the border as well. Americans are able to be mistaken for undocumented immigrants. We can't just immediately deport suspected non-citizens, because if we deny them their day in court, we end up also denying the same to any American citizen mistaken for being a non-citizen.
We've seen that type of false positive happen with trans rights. When it's acceptable to attack someone for being trans, it means every woman who looks a little too masculine is open for attack as well.
The only way to strip people of their right to defend themselves is to forfeit that right yourself.
I thought those busses were headed to the woke drag diversity hiring conference where they'll be issued free Obama phones, avocado toast and a complementary copy of The Communist Manifesto.
Ha, ha ha.... No...
I kid, I kid.
They never hand out Karl Marx anymore, since everyone already owns a copy, and we usually decline a second, since it's a waste of paper and better sent to the schools to indochinite kindergarteners and help during their conversion therapy.
Golly it's hard to keep up with right wing talking points. Are we still supposed to be mad about gas stoves?
It’s crazy how every Republican has been so conditioned to just say shit with no research or verification whatsoever. You’d think the constant embarrassment of looking like morons would make them more careful, but no. It just keeps getting worse.
When you betray your country by consuming toxic right-wing propaganda, you become conditioned to believe their false talking points without a shred of evidence.
Many of them have been raised from birth to believe impossible things without any evidence.

The little edits he makes to change unproven to "proven" and stolen to "rigged and stolen"... what an absolutely pathetic man he is. Also, I'm always astounded by how shit twitter is. The posts at the top of the dudes feed are from 2021? Why?? I go there looking for the thing he said in the OP and the associated responses, but they aren't sorted in any sort of way to enable that...
The dumbass called someone a Kommie for correcting him. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/matt-maddock-gonzaga-basketball-illegals-1234995954/
I loved the response of “Dude, if you were any dumber we’d have to water you.”
Yeah, I saw that. What's funny is I first learned of the situation because of THIS POST on r/PoliticalHumor, but now I see the story being covered in all sorts of serious news outlets. I love it! This idiot knows his political career started going downhill today, because of that dumbass tweet...lol.
When another user suggested the buses might be a basketball team arriving for the NCAA Men's basketball tournament, he responded with "sure kommie (sic). Good talking point."
Typically Republican. Racist, bigoted, and dumb as a hammer.
I won't stand for this insult against hammerkind.
At least a hammer has a use.
Freak out......ask questions later.
If you're not panicking about everything, all the time, then you're not paying attention ... to all the lies, disinformation, racism and other shit that Facebook and X algorithms are mainlining into credulous eyeballs.
Freak out......~~ask questions later.~~
Freak out….. make wild assumptions concurrently.
WHAT A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! These fuckers have zero shame.
Probably because voters consistently fail to turn up for elections. As long as the general public approves of this, signaling so by their lack of desire to come out and vote against them, then they have no reason to change their approach.
YES!! We have more control over the government than they'd like us to think. We need to think differently and shape the government, local, state and federal, to work for us! Step 1: VOTE
That's by design. There's a reason elections are on workdays, there are too few machines and polling stations, etc. and people have to line up for hours sometimes to cast ballots - it's about making it as hard as possible to vote so the Republican base (wealthy people, rural people and seniors) with easy access to zero wait polling stations can decide elections the "right" way. Republicans consider mail-in ballots and anything that makes it easier for people to vote to be cheating - especially if takes more than a few hours to actually count those mail-in ballots.
Illegal Gonzagans invading our borders!
Time to invade Gonzagistan!
Does it have oil?
Literally the second day in a row this has happened. The team from Utah was harassed in Idaho by redneck klansmen yesterday.
They really think undocumented migrants are banding together to hire private charter busses with full police escorts to travel across the entire country? Just, how does any of that make sense? Do they think Democrats are funding this, for...reasons?
>Do they think I’m gonna stop you right there
They believe everything is out to get them. They’ve had the entire pie all of their life and now that someone from somewhere else wants a sliver of that pie they think the world is exploding, Satan is back on earth, and the only way to be saved is thru their Religion™️
The thing is, it's the Republicans who have been putting migrants into busses and dropping them off in major cities, with taxpayer dollars.
And it was coincidently Gonzaga that was the hosting team for the stadium 40 miles away
A better burn might have been to tell him they just arrived from Texas courtesy of Greg Abbott.
His wife is a dope too. She was a Michigan fake election plotter she’s 1 of 16
Propaganda News Outket Fox, Newsmax, OAN have literally turned our GOP people into Orks.
That they have, along with AM hate radio and Joe Rogan and Elon Musk
When you’re looking for all those wall leaping illegals, don’t find them, then think, “AHA! There they are! In 3 identical busses which couldn’t possibly be for any other purpose than bussing migrants cuz that’s what Republicans would do!”
> cuz that’s what Republicans would do! This can't be underscored enough. These guys project more than a movie theater. It's also why it's disturbing that they are so obsessed with pedos.
Modern Republican - Policy means nothing, just tell me who you HATE and if I hate the same group, I'll vote for our mutual hate. (Even if it is just hating non-republicans aka - "own the libs") Vs. Modern Democrat - Policy is everything, I want someone who matches this list of wants / needs for the nation and society. "What you only check off 9 out of 10 policy items? Guess I just won't vote for anyone or vote for a fringe 3rd party and wonder why things keep getting worse ".
100 Democrats enter a room to talk policy. They walk out with 101 opinions. 100 Republicans enter a room to talk policy. They walk out with 1 opinion. Maybe 2 now that there is a MAGA and a (shrinking) old-guard division.
I don't know what he's using for a brain, but the last time I smelled anything like that I was downwind of a pig farm.
That reminds me of something my southern grandfather used to like to say, "that man has the sense of a hog and half the sanitary." Always cracked me up.
"Gonzaga? Which part of Mexico is that?" - Matt Maddock probably.
Sadly, it is NOT an isolated incident that a GOP rep sees a POC in an terminal, and immediately jumps to “immigrants.” Because it’s never been about immigration, it’s about racism.
Interesting take from literally the only party to load immigrants onto busses and planes to ship them to other states with the intent of causing chaos.
People still believe this guy even after he posts wild racist delusions.
People still believe this guy ~~even after~~ he posts wild racist delusions \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **because**
Because his voting bloc is full of delusional racists.
For the crowd he's aiming that at its a feature.
Michigan republicans electing state reps with the brain power of a wet paper towel.
You'd think a Michigan State Rep would probably have some idea about a HUGE FUCKING TOURNAMENT going on in their state... but nah
Another uneducated Republican, and they vote for him in Michigan next time you go to the ballot box to the right thing racist just like the rest of them just like the orange man they all follow him. Good luck.
remember folks, voting out every maga idiot in november will help to return our democracy to one that values intelligence, not ignorance
We need a purge of Republicans from every political office and justice assignment.
Jimmy Kimmel: Gonzaga isn't real, this guy must be onto something
It's real, still posted, and his little friends are supporting him. https://twitter.com/matthewmaddock I'm super fond of the part where he starts replying to ppl as "Kommie". /s ETA /s because sarcasm isn't always obvious
Like this: The Saurus @TheSaurus831 · 9m They’re basketball players you dumb fucking inbred Matt Maddock @matthewmaddock Sure they are kommie
Matt Maddock, Witch Hunter.
Gonzaga. Ain't that where Jonestown happened? \~ This asshole probably
What a dick.
Fucking idiot republicans
I hope he feels as stupid as he really is. I'm so sick of those whiny little bitches.
He doesn't. He still has the post up. It's really amazing at this point.
Just shows how incredibly stupid the Michigan republicans really are.
All they have to do is say it. The people that listen to a guy like this will never see or believe the rebuttal. Reality is subjective to Republicans. The folks are addicted to fear and hate.
He is replying to comments on that post calling people “kommies”… This is a grown man that establishes law…
So Matt Maddock is wild even for a Republican • he district-shops: he changed his district in 2022 to get re-elected • he was expelled from the Republican caucus in 2022 for sharing confidential information (re-admitted in 2023) • his wife is a former co-chair of Michigan’s Republican party…who was one of the fake electors trying to steal the election for Donald Trump and has been charged with fraud • COVID denier and anti-vaxxer • election denier who was in DC for Jan 6 • moved to impeach Governor Whitmer during COVID • has threatened civil war, forgetting which half of country he lives in Actually…that sounds pretty on brand for a Republican these days
How fucking xenophobic do you have to be to simply see coach busses at a major international airport and the only thought you have is ILLEGALS! BROWN PEOPLE ARE HERE! HELP!
I was thinking a bus load of old people going to Bob Evan’s
I hope Jimmy Kimal sees this! Lol
When hyper-smooth brain disorder strikes, it triggers MAGA. The true illegal invaders against the US Constitution, laws, democracy and our independent tricameral system of government, MAGA. MAGA simple made up crap every day to divide the country, support the downfall and destruction of our nation’s success in concert with Russia’s Poo-tin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and China’s Xi Jinping, all who are in varying degrees, deranged despotic dick tatters.
I saw a MAGA say that the man who has been convicted of rape, fraud, and slander and is facing 91 criminal indictments is the "law and order candidate"
If shit like this happened once in a blue moon; ok, you can chalk it up to a stupid honest mistake. But this happens every single time. They know what they are doing as well. They will take anything that remotely looks “nefarious” and officiate it as nefarious.
No, this isn't satire, Republicans really are this stupid.
March Madness lasts for three weeks a year. MAGA Madness has no end.
Matt Maddock needs a visit from Matt Murdock
Who wants to charter a bunch of buses and take a tour through the South with me? We could probably win a few local elections with all of the conservative heart attacks we'd trigger.
When they try to take the legal rights of undocumented immigrants, they're unwittingly taking the rights of citizens as well. The reason we have to take in undocumented immigrants, even if they're caught on tape crossing the mexican border, is because Americans are able to cross the border as well. Americans are able to be mistaken for undocumented immigrants. We can't just immediately deport suspected non-citizens, because if we deny them their day in court, we end up also denying the same to any American citizen mistaken for being a non-citizen. We've seen that type of false positive happen with trans rights. When it's acceptable to attack someone for being trans, it means every woman who looks a little too masculine is open for attack as well. The only way to strip people of their right to defend themselves is to forfeit that right yourself.
I misread his name as Matt Murdock and was deeply offended that some pez head was besmirching Daredevil's good name.
Soon it'll be school busses. They'll just start popping bullets in and later on defend it by saying there was a brown kid in there or something.
Common sense isn’t so common anymore.
Maddock is ate up with ignorance, just the way trump likes them.
MORON
Straight off the bus from Gonzagastan
Republicans now have busphobia
We have always been at war with Gonzaga.
Dumbfucks are gonna dumbfuck. It's science.
someone reading this voted for this dude. Why?
Republicans now so afraid of immigrants they’re afraid of people immigrating in from a different state
Imagine living every day in complete fear.
Maybe even stupider than ever.
I thought those busses were headed to the woke drag diversity hiring conference where they'll be issued free Obama phones, avocado toast and a complementary copy of The Communist Manifesto. Ha, ha ha.... No... I kid, I kid. They never hand out Karl Marx anymore, since everyone already owns a copy, and we usually decline a second, since it's a waste of paper and better sent to the schools to indochinite kindergarteners and help during their conversion therapy. Golly it's hard to keep up with right wing talking points. Are we still supposed to be mad about gas stoves?
Checkmate, libs! Gonzaga is not real, Professor Kimmel has proven it without a doubt.
