"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

i'm developing a medieval open-world adventure game in which your character is immortal but has to sneeze constantly, so mostly you just wander the towns and countryside searching for kerchiefs and the like. sometimes you have to acquire oaken buckets or enchanted books to sneeze into

PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it
