Mexico and the United States are culturally together, white Americans can be Mexican and have Spaniard descent
“not sense moment: I’m sure that in his past life, Donald Trump was a mexican woman film dancer”
In today’s U.S. culture if Trump identifies as a “Mexican woman film dancer” we have to pretend he is or else we are bigots. “misgendering the one of millions of genders is a micro-aggression”
Again with this weird, non-sensical sh%t.
It’s nonsense to say you can go on a college campus and ignore any of the thousand genders and NOT be called a bigot. @Liathecrazyflower makes a good point if someone can suddenly identify as a woman why can’t Trump suddenly identify as Mexican???
Take this —- somewhere else.
I think you owe my Cousin Dougie and apology. He takes cursing very seriously. He also sees you as the bully of this website. He says you try to monitor this website and ban anyone that you don’t like. When you are ready to apologize to my cousin by marriage we will be waiting.
Dougie put in a request to ban Oaken05. I can’t say I am opposed. biggest troll on this site. Vulgar cursing, hostility, and hypocrisy describes this user very well.
I disagree, Bearboy. What about that clown now using nickname “Pokerella”.
There’s no way porkarella and muricansrallmutts are two different people.
