A One-Act Play 0
Mangy comments at the Youtube page:
Given the security that is provided a former President of the United States, it is pretty hard to believe that white supremacist and insecure small-boy, Nick Fuentes, was simply allowed to waltz into a Mag-a-Lardo dinner with Donald Trump simply by accompanying “Ye” (formerly known as a guy with a normal name). This explanation of events sounds remarkably like most of Trump’s rally speeches or Fuente’s vlogs. (In other words, unadulterated BS)
Mangy Fetlocks imagined how access to the Trumpster might REALLY have been granted to Fuentes, and he wrote a short musical drama to illustrate his theory. He hopes it will soon be produced on Broadway, becoming a Tony-Award-winning mini-musical, netting Mangy a host of offers for free donuts from his adoring fans.

Yet another toddler is polite to a parent.
Disfunctional Doppelgangers 0
In The Charlotte Observer, Paul Prather opines that persons who own ginormous pick-up trucks that they have no practical need for may not be sending the message that they think they are sending.
As someone who sees these things every day, I can attest that he is quite correct.
