Sorry but no one should take you seriously if you said Eric Adams would be great and now you're saying Zohran will bring about the end of New York City. You are, how do I say this, a clown

I’m in Tennessee right now, so I’ll just remind everyone that Rep. John Rose (R-TN) married his wife when he was 45 and she was still an undergrad in college. They met when she was in high school.

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.
