Seen in the wild
at least when Jon Kay's mom defended her dumb Nazi failson on Twitter we knew it was pathetically real
Depends on whether you're trying to keep Florence from being destroyed because some rich failson got in a war he could've avoided (or had happen elsewhere.)
Anyway, as a chronically depressed person, I want to punch the headline writer (and RFK's failson) in the nose.
I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would take health advice from a rich failson who got brain parasites by eating fuckin' roadkill. Like what are we doing here
yeah if Bobby Kennedy's serial killer failson tries to take my meds I will turn my unmedicated self into a problem for him, personally, until the end of his natural life
