“Moon of Alabama” is completely divorced from reality.

Mehta sounds like Meta, Fasbuk sounds like Facebook. it was a joke.

I’m Spanish and I don’t fight bulls. I’m from Poland. Also you shouldn’t call Europeans Spanish, it’s considered offensive. And maybe stop saying Europeans eat pasta, we don’t eat pasta.

if you don’t think (at least) Thomas, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanuagh are outright malevolent self-serving sociopathic evil - you haven’t been paying any attention.
