The Joke’s on You
For the Fellas During the past couple of weeks, I’ve watched both Bill Burr’s and Dave Chappelle’s recent Netflix specials.

It’s just a bunch of Alt-Lice, Proud Boy bigots coming together for a circle-jerk of heterosexism. Just listen to one of the right-wing founders and renowned Republican snowflake, John Hugo, explain…
