Krystal is an idiot who happens to be arrogant. She is often wrong, never in doubt.

Fetterman clearly suffered from a stroke so I won't mock him. I will moc his family for putting him in that position though. Unconscionable and irresponsible.

Ball is worse. Ignorant arrogance at its finest. Unprofessional and out of her league.

RFK Jr. made the usual mistake we on Reality Island make. We assume a fair fight where logic and reason are the best weapons to debate. It's simply not so and Ball showed why.

These people live in some kind of weird vdogmatic accine echo chamber.
