opinion See you later Pollyanna!!! Anyone who does that to another Soul, I do NOT want receiving my news from… EVER!

opinion No

opinion I’m satisfied with Toobin’s apology, and am of the mind his behavior, while damned stupid, was not deliberately directed toward anyone else, particularly at CNN. He’s back and I’m glad to have him there.

opinion He was in his own pleasure palace. Give him a break.

opinion Tobins issue is human and very embarrassing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with making that kind of mistake. All men beat their meat. He was clearly pressed for time and needed a blowout. Men need to standup for each other when there’s a shaft-based ‘technical problem.’

opinion Once you go on air you need to stay on air forever or else you'll die. The solution is just to make more TV channels. Eventually, maybe, we'll have enough that everyone on Earth will know everlasting life.

opinion If you’re a liberal you can masturbate in front of your coworkers at CNN. Let that sink in

opinion No

opinion By Federal Law Now, All Sex Offenders Must Surrender Their Pee-Pees. As It Should Be.

opinion Apparently whipping your junk out and playing with it in front of others is cool as long as your liberal.

opinion Nope!

opinion Forgiveness is a virtue, which the left should practice on those they don't like too.

opinion horrible

opinion Kind of a different application of “sex” tho, so it’s kinda apples and 🍆

opinion Who cares, both are men.
