This is hardly surprising...it's Alabama. The only place I've visited that was more racist was Mississippi.

Agreed with Sliver. Meatball Ron is a solid, little insult but I think I'd be asking for my money back if I hired a marketing firm and that's what they came up with.

Hahahaha the point still stands… no I won’t put the spoiler tags on it! Muahahahahahaha

Another quick point; I didn’t even notice the oilers logo on his lapel, the guy is walking cringe personified.

Similar to Biden and Obama. The type that does as told, and will follow the money. Their money.

And it looks like Missouri may allow kids aged 14+ to open carry guns. That’s f’d up.

Speaking of new Trump nicknames, we will have another to add shortly. Icky Nikki perhaps?

I can’t imagine a political campaign has any positive effect on someone dealing with depression, to say the least.

Smart to keep that under wraps until after he was elected, probably would have cost him the race
