We don’t negotiate with white supremacists.

“We don’t negotiate with terrorists” is a phrase that really needs to be retired, especially after 6 January 2021.

Yeah, that ship sailed on January 6…,

It really doesn’t matter if you are Christian, Muslim or Pastafarian. Anyone who uses their religion as an excuse to treat others badly is a complete piece of trash.

[Shuck]

a few minutes later, patted him on the back, and said he didn’t mean it like that

Stupid, evil, and sound asleep. Such a lovely combination. Teaching really isn’t this creature’s ideal career…working in hell’s library might suit it.
