Jordan's show last January 6th and I had the QAnon shaman paint my face with his look and I had a Russian fur hat and I had the boots and everything and Jordan Peterson had to sit and talk to me for three hours looking [laughter] like a complete mental patient. And you you're going to forget in a couple minutes, you

Representative public comments
Elephant Graveyard is going to love the comic advice section.
The lengths adults go to hide a pimple…😂
A scanner darkly immediately came to my mind
“Everyone’s so performative, Joe said to the man with the painted face.
Michael Malice knows how to give the people what they don’t want.
For as many people who are in glee for Jordan's health issues there are triple the amount who are praying for his recovery. We don't need to know what's wrong or the diagnosis we just want him better.
