My Facebook account has been flooded with memes with variations of this idea. It got to the point where I suspended one of my groups because it’s been taken over by political posts (which the admins seem to have no interest in regulating). ---

Biden is not a candidate for any office 2.

To be fair to the man, I have searched for some pretty insane things in an effort to research rule 34, and indeed found porn of them. …way, way more disturbing things than Mr. Vance posted, although we don’t know the true breadth of his interest in marine animal porn, and I can’t imagine him reaching the depths of Japanese porn Perhaps this is too much of a hijack for this forum, though - Mr. Vance does, after all, represent “the party of family values” and we can probably be sure the dolphin was just trying, in a somewhat misguided manner, to create a family. ---
