still cringe... not even softball, wiffleball... no comments about Africa, Epstein, vaccines, hoarding.... these guys should really stick to celebrities where a fawning is acceptable. This guy is a fucking billionaire responsible for so much evil in the world. But sure, pump his tires as of he was the second coming. I need a dose of actual media to cleanse my palate. I feel my blood sugar rising because of the saccharine levels. let's see... who shall I choose? Lee camp? Bad Faith? Aaron Mate?

A for instance,...Sure, activity is extremely important, but also it is even more important that we reign in the sugar industry because they are extremely guilty of causing addiction to a drug that leads to one of the most common diseases of them. All type 2 diabetes, a big money Maker for them. That's for sure.
