    I’m just stuck on the notion that “the existence of social media” is his limiting constraint here.

    Can we also note that, to paraphrase, he tried to deny their adulthood before stating his sexual desire for them?

    Apparently one too many people called him gay over this: he posted a tiktok a short while ago saying he meant what he said and “concubine” basically means slave, apparently hoping the people who follow him don’t know better.

      Maybe he picked that up in Afghanistan, warlords there keep young boys as concubines and might be disinclined to admit to a random US soldier that the boys all over their compound are sex slaves, so “slaves” is the “softer” term.

      Of course, that means that this dude is a-ok with bringing slavery back, so…

      Honestly? I 100% believe he didn’t know what concubine meant. He seems like that kind of dumbass.

      It was nice when special forces took pride in being quiet. Although, I guess it is just seals that get press agents when they retire.

      I once talked to a delta guy who was very low key about his service and very much like the later stage Smedley Butler.

    As weird as the concubines thing is, a lot of people overlook that he said the alternative was that these guys would be food.

    I guess I should have figured some of these conservatives were secretly cannibals after all the times they accused others of eating babies.

    Worst all time? Eh, Trump even beat him on that one. Trump vs Harris debate was totally botched by Trump.
