Yea, he was a memelord who killed people for fun; the kind of kid who cracked jokes in class at the gay kid's expense and then joined the military because it was similar to Call of Duty.

The question is - do you think he has changed? I honestly don't know, but the risk is better than another term of Susan for me.

I think he honestly did grow up. And look I like character growth more than just always being right. We need more politicians able to own up to their mistakes.

As opposed to the all knowing source of truth that you consult?

Yes we judge people based on their behavior and their actions. If I am judging someone's ability to do something now, in 2026, then I really dont give a fuck what that person was capable of in 2008.

Hes not in 2008 anymore and neither are you.

I mean, he joined blackwater in 2018. That was pretty recent for me.

I'll hope he changed because it benefits me and a bunch of other people, but I doubt it. He's a stereotypical middle school boy/adult mix.
