Obviously fake, I hope he sues her to homelessness. (Probably not a long trip)
What is the pathology of homely people who take the most unflattering (and way too close up) “selfies” of themselves?? (That also goes for especially creepy men on social media - and they always shoot the pic from below.) It must be similar to why “unbreedable” women are the first to freak out about losing their abortion “care”. AS IF they really need it!
Um.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure you ain’t never wrong, Gus!
