Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”
Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”
Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”

I read that last line as: “Quote posts are a gay area of the law…”
Being annoying on your own timeline is free speech. Being annoying in someone's replies is harassment. Quote posts are a gray area of the law still being developed

i read about her pussy in minas tirith. the description of her pearl palace is fashioned in an elven-script, for they have no letters in Mordor for such subtle work. I deem it to be a tongue of the sapphics, and to quote the White Council, “The 3, the 6, and the 9.” followed by, “damn she fine.”
