    Have you noticed that the term "grifter" has evolved from its traditional meaning -- those who scam others out of money using deception and fraud -- to "anyone I don't like who makes a modest Patreon income"

        It'd be interesting to see how many of the people using the term in this new manner are themselves grifters of the government's co-opt by corporations?

        Well if you weren’t a grifter you would be getting your money the same way real journalistic outlets do, from BP and Boeing.

        You do what have to do. Period. You are too empathic and you can choose not to be. Let me know if you want help with that.

        It’s a word that some second-year college student used in their creative writing class to sound “edgy.”

        You've had it explained to you on a number of occasions why the Russia investigation wasn't fraudulent. They literally made convictions. Just because the convictions weren't in line with what the media was postulating doesn't undermine the integrity of the investigation.

        The schtick is played out. Taking a victory lap on the left from the results of a summary of the Mueller report honestly seems suspect and I’m not someone who cared to sensationalize the collusion aspect but pretending like that was worse than what Fox does every damn day??

        Add that to: "Cuck", no longer a man who steals another man's wife but someone who is weak. "Boomer", no longer someone born between 1945 and 1960 but instead anyone born before 1980 who isn't au fait with the latest IT developments and has left leaning politics.

        Nothing to do with politics. Both AA and Sargon are boomers as a result of their regular tech failures during live streams.
