    The last one was spending the majority of his time taking bribes and doing crimes. Funny how no one really talks about how Eric Adams is now legally a citizen of Albania.

    Still can’t believe he’s gotten away scott free, but I guess he did warn that “All my haters become my waiters when I sit down at the table of success”

        I hope they fart in his drinks.

        He’s willing to suffer the consequence of success.

        “If you’re going to hang out with the boys at night, you’ve got to get up with the men in the morning”

              Lions, with extremely rare exceptions, have a lifestyle of comprising in near totality eating, sleeping, shitting, fucking, and dying. All of this, mind you, happens outdoors in climates they can rarely, if ever, stray from. To date, exactly zero lions have set foot on the moon, or even merely boarded a plane by themselves. None are known to us for their penchant for philosophical rumination, and if they quote each other, we sure as fuck don’t know about it.

              When the entirety of humanity has devolved to live exactly as they do now, I will give that quote all the consideration it deserves. Which is exactly none, because I’m a lion and have no idea what the fuck a quote even is.

              “I am Gandhi-like. I think like Gandhi. I act like Gandhi. I want to be like Gandhi.”

              “Deep down, I think I must be (a) little bit Dominican.”
