I could make a compelling case. I just can’t be bothered to put in the work.

That’s one thing I’ve never quite grasped – how people who abhor Jews as Socialists AT THE SAME TIME hate them for controlling the world’s banking system.

If I were asked whether cooking shows were a demonic threat to society, having seen only the promo ads for them interrupting whatever show I’m watching, I might well be tempted to say hell, yeah.
