Well, Blake is certainly darker than Torres, but, is he blacker ? LOL

Sorry, Blake, Torres is Puerto Rican, Black and Gay. Blake, your plain old blackness ain’t cutting it in the diverse world !

I can’t tell the difference anymore between the Babylon Bee and “real” news.

That's because there is no difference anymore.

Blake should have self-identified as queer too.

That would have made him more acceptable to the NY CommiecRAT base.

In Demonrat locales, it ain’t who does the voting. It’s who does the COUNTING.
