74. If I could make money doing political stuff, it'd happen so quick.

Mar 2014

I probably spend about 20% of my free time chatting on a forum, for free! Telling people my ideas, for free!

I'm not going to come down on anyone who manages to make money from it. Though if they get rich from it- not talking about you as I don't think you're big enough yet- they need to drop the shit and pretenses and go full out against all the others who do get rich from it and keep fomenting BS to continue being enriched. Say, once you hit $5 million, you are set for life.

Note: I understand that RT will actively deny LGBT defenders on their show, so I understand why you stopped going on there. But you and I both know that Fox News won't really cover LGBT to the extent we want.
