sorry to hear that Trag
Yeah Trag that sucks. I lost one of my more significant freelance clients for Trump-related reasons too. Feels bad!

listen to me you mentally ill fuckwit: I have not voted for Donald Trump. I have done nothing to karmacally invite this into my life. But even if I had -- even if I were a low information voter who was somehow persuaded to vote against my best interests -- would that still warrant whatever sort of schadenfreude you seem to be reveling in right now?

Eat a humongous fucking dick.

Ftr, trag is acting nuts in that post, dime. You didn't do anything wrong. Personally, I take joy in seeing Trump voters suffer the consequences of their obviously dumb choices

trag is not a trump voter, I'm bummed he is losing money. You'll find a way to make it up, though, trag. But don't take your frustration out on poor dime!

Look at Argo inserting himself into other people's conflict as usual.

Crazy move in this post where he gaslights trag and then consoles him.

Unreal.
