I had no idea these existed.

And all the talk about fascist "masculinity" reminds me of a recent speech by our "Secretary of War."

Thank you for the info.

...contains all of Social Security's history and SSA employees - the Wilbur Cohen Federal Building. I wonder if that's where the Narcissist in Thief is putting his Arc to Himself.

Merry Christmas and Fuck You from the Orange Turd, I guess.
