67. Analogy: gqp rep Byron donalds is butt hurt that he is being refused entry to the CBC
Mon Jun 14, 2021, 02:36 PM
Jun 2021

Just because his skin is brown doesn’t mean he gets a free pass to join the CBC. He doesn’t hold the same aspirations to democracy and freedom and therefore is being denied. Just because someone is transgender just as you pointed out does not mean they should not be held accountable for their awful positions.

Politicians of of brands and flavors are subject to frequent jokes...can’t take the heat??? Get out of the fire
