      I remember when I was a teen talking online with someone from Britain. I don’t remember why, but at one point, he called me a “wanker.”

      I thought it was hilarious. He thought he was insulting me, but since I’d never seen nor heard that word used in real life before, it had no emotional meaning to me. Instead, I was tickled by how silly (and patently British) the word sounded.

        They had such a “literal meltdown” they took over all three branches of government.

        Yeah, you really got under their skin.

            Eh. He looks pretty happy to me, albeit a bit unhinged. My point was more that (moral high-ground not withstanding) the MAGAts appear to have gotten the last laugh this cycle, which his expression seemingly reflects.

        yeah and when that was clearly working the Harris campaign just dropped it in favor of stupid shit like bragging about republicans endorsing her.
