“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

Once more, the point of having military guards in full dress at the White House Nitro Circus sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee Company isn’t that this all presents a coherent vision of America. It’s a show of dominance, of publicly degrading our symbols and institutions to proclaim that they own them.

Doing deadlifts at the gym and a “content creator” just asked me to move because I’m ruining her shot. No cap. I now will diminish, and go into the West
