    There is nothing wrong or evil about building a border wall.

    I don't really buy that, but even if we grant what you're claiming, there's no point to it. And why should we do something merely because it's not "wrong or evil"? Being incredibly dumb is not any better.

      I've always been here. I just haven't always taken stances that you agree with.

        "People who agree with me are smart, those who disagree are batshit insane". That is the level of thought process you are dealing with.

        No, I'm with the AC on this one. Either somebody hacked the khallow account, or khallow was abducted and forced into re-education.

        What's next, frojack declares his undying love for Hillary Clinton or Azuma starts parroting Joel Osteen?

          You insensitive clod! Did you think to ask khallow if he had a brain tumor remission, or if someone removed the gun from his head? Did you? No. I thought not.

          I've made fun of Osteen before, if that helps. Though...you know that Spongebob meme where he's strutting around like a chicken or something, and whatever quote you want to mock you put under it in aLtErNaTiNg CaPs LiKe ThIs? Yeah, parroting like that.
