    It really was a dumb story. Look, we all like to embellish our stories, but you gotta pull that in when campaigning for President.

    As far as the cannibals part, that’s the kind of thing old people think is funny and harmless when it can be pretty offensive and can hold back the advancement of a people.

      I appreciate that the AP mentioned that the PNG prime minister was meeting with Chinese officials on the same day

      Yes but suddenly the right wing cares about cultural identities!

      So OP gets to post more “Biden is not a fascist/rapist but still icky” articles.
