People often overlook the fact that gingerbread men live inside gingerbread houses that are effectively made of their own skin. Those sadistic mother fuckers sit at their dinner tables on gingerbread chairs, knowing their gingerbread friends likely died to build and furnish the place. It’s sick.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Sack Slot NOW.
If he had the skill set to improve this horrible season it would have happened by now.
#LFC have a super-talented team.
We have Champions League to play for and still a chance for top-4.
Reset needed.

This shit is a joke. Failure to get a center back as first priority preseason, the haphazard midfield, the failures to finish chances. This team is in shambles right now and I’m close to saying Slot isn’t the guy. #LFC

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”
