222. It's the second time I've said something about BD's silence

Tue Jul 1, 2025, 03:34 AM

Jul 2025

I also flame JK Rowling when the opportunity arises. Nothing personal. Both are successful, comfortable. BD could just put out some sound-bite or short statement about what's going on today is wrong. Do you need me to list all of the sh7t tRUMP's done? He's aware and won't speak out. That's my only gripe. And the other is, his poor voice. My god. That sound is brutal. People still buy his tickets though. Got to give him that. Are you a head doctor? Looking for signs?
