  1. Okay, was anyone going to tell me about Macron's unreasonably jacked arms or was I just supposed to find out about those myself?

  4. Macron is pissed at Putin because Putin embarrassed him. There was communication between the two and Putin was lying right to his face while saying he appreciated their trusting relationship. So he wants that weight bag to be Putin Lol

  6. I'd rather our leaders "fight" by posting selfies of them flexing, than by sending children to die.

    I'd say it's a lot more manly too. How can you send someone to do your work and feel tough about it?

    It almost reminds me of men feeling tough because they eat meat, that they bought from the store and had others prepare it

  19. Macron is destroying France. Biden is destroying the US. Germany…the UK…Italy are all being forced to destroy their infrastructure and standard of living for WAR. Endless war for American Empire.
