But he has a ready arsenal of strategic nuclear weapons. And zero qualms about committing crimes at any scale.

Because nobody is stopping them.

Fake laughing, that is.

KELCHSTÜTZEN.

Yes, that is literally what these things are called.

Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Involuntary dilation of the iris…

“Poop”?

Will make zero difference to ardent supporters of the death cult. They know. They’ve known for years.

They do. Not. Care.

If Mary was smart she would have used the Free AI Text Humanizer.

Yes, I exaggerated my example to make a point. I guess we value different things. I favor clarity, you favor freedom. Fine by me.
