  4. Is there anyone at all who thought this person was a man?????? Just one????? Who does she think she is kidding by announcing it, we all knew it

    ReplyDelete
  5. Trump and his Cult need to re-think their call for the repeal of Section 230, do they REALLY want Breitbart, The Epoch Times, and whatever "Wackadoodles-R-Us" media they flock to next to be held responsible for the insane crap they post?

    ReplyDelete
  6. ^^^They already are liable. None of the organizations you referred to claim Section 230 immunity. They are news and opinion sites, not bulletin boards.

  9. If Ellen Page was a lesbian married to another woman,

    but is now known as Elliot Page, a man,

    then why is he/she/they still living with a homosexual woman?

    It's almost like this person is an actor!

  10. Ellen/Elliot is the damned ugliest whatever that the fuck that is supposed to be I've ever seen!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Ellen Page had a Quinton Lucas sewn onto her and that makes her man? She would have been better off with a strap on. Quit trying to normalize mental problems.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Elliot has won a gold medal for being the most sensitively clean man on the planet.

  13. Soooo the actress is a lesbian, but they want to say they're in a conventional relationship, so now she's pretending to be trans? HTF, does the hive-mind even function. I cannot grasp its processes. Fortunately, our Country is vast and there are plenty of kids in the Country who want to bump uglies and maintain a survivable rate of reproduction. Though there too, its certainly under attack as well. The hive-mind is certainly well organized in progress towards its goal.

  15. It appears many of KC's incels have an unnatural interest in gay sex and trannies. Weird.

  16. Lucas is an asshole not a dick 9:41. He sucks dicks.

  17. "stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence."

    I agree, the dimwits have been violent and murderous for far too long.
