The cringing cowardice and bullying swagger that Muir imagines are courage. The fact Muir on some level believes this, believes in the way of all fascists that his way is so innately strong, so clearly right that it will win and win and win, and if it appears to lose, than it is only because the other side cheated.</p><p>I said it when Trump won--Muir is as miserable in victory as he is in defeat, because his expectations are so high, his beliefs are so detached from reality, and his allies so shit, that a win is only the gateway to disappointment and then defeat.</p>John Ballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04972266528973943232noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904038299747498050.post-14855607760947567682024-03-06T21:29:00.000-08:002024-03-09T20:00:47.313-08:00About-Face Into Pregnancy Fetish!<p> It's <a href="https://www.daybydaycartoon.com/2024/03/06/?post_type=comic" target="_blank">the Day's Day of Days</a>!
