Nicky Jam was fine with Trump, seemingly, up until he was misgendered by the latter.
Meaning all Trump's deeds were fine... up until this mistake at Nicky's expense - which was unintentional.
Yet when Trump attacked numerous other people throughout the years, that did not matter for Nicky.
Anyone else see the hypocrisy of the conservative mindset here as well?
I wonder if this Nancy Reagan meme is appropriate.
Blow job Queen Nancy Reagan? That Nancy Reagan?
The Nancy Regan that got pregnant with Ronnie's love child while he was still married to Jane Wyman? That Nancy Regan. Party of family values, ha!
I hear she could suck a golf ball through a garden hose...
I heard it was a bendy straw.
Sucking a bendy straw through a garden hose is not that difficult…
you know, i've never tried it, but i do have faith that you are very wrong, wouldn't you just suck the air through the straw too?
Actual physicist here.
It's a fairly simple question, if you suck a bendy straw through a garden hose you have to calculate two open cylinders. Almost like a pipe mail system. But the environment is completely different. If you suck on one side of the hose the air in front of the straw will rapidly cool down and the friction of the straw will heat up the air behind it. Like a jet engine. So the straw will accelerate to about enough speed to shoot right through your head.
Don't try this!!!!
You should work for Boeing.
I am
I'm a republican, I was the throat goat until Ronnie made an honest(ish?) woman out of me. Now I assume all other women are ho's and make all my life decisions based on this false assumption.
See: welfare mother who keeps having kids to get rich??? or something?
Surely you understand their position though? The face-eating leopards haven't eaten THEIR faces yet, and they hang around all the time! It would have happened by now if the face-eating leopards was gonna eat their faces! Have some sympathy - having their face eaten by the face-eating leopards truly came out of nowhere and was unexpected!
The Behind the Bastards podcast on them is pretty good (as are practically all of their content). Nancy gave ferocious BJs to Hollywood execs to keep her foot in the door (though that is not in the BtB) and Ronnie was who Hollywood turned to if they couldn't get an A list or even bona fide B list actor.
Neither were particularly bright. They loved the attention they got in politics, and strove to keep both the masses happy and the people they felt like were behind their ascension to power. They had several gay friends coming up through Hollywood and didn't seem to have any personal issue with gay people, but they felt like they were expected to be publicly against gays because of the image they were expected to uphold. They probably weren't terrible people, they were just useful idiots whom terrible people used to enact policy.
Reagan, virtually a GOP Saint, was probably the tipping point that turned our country into an Oligarchy. His presidency will likely be remembered in history books as being disastrous for the United States of America.
Two self-centered egoists orbiting the same star of blinding stupidity.
