> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > Hopefully she has more toes than Marge Greene. I had to google that. In the photo I found, she appears to have fewer toes on her left foot; but they could just be buried in the sand. What struck me was how short and stubby her toes are. They’re too small for her feet. But I can’t bring myself to make fun of her feet. ---

I could imagine that, on one occasion, Eric visited a building site with Dad and one of the workmen let him try cutting rebar. And I could imagine that Eric has now inflated this into “working”. ---

Trust nothing that comes from Russian state media. They will spin this for their own purposes. They could be lying to make us expect the criminal charges to be much worse than what eventually come out, and then that will make people think the actual charges to be a nothing burger, when what we do know already is very very serious. ---
