i literally cannot wear chinos at my waist size without them being a very wide cut, and i have pretty normal-sized legs for someone reasonably athletic that squats like twice a week

in general men's clothing retailers do not make pants for people who do not skip leg day

Hey Sam, any comments on how the ‘tyranophobia’ of liberals is the main thing we should still be worried about?

you are literally so stupid

The Trump economic program seems to be to both do Javier Mileiism (completely cutting off all government spending through executive fiat) *and* Peronist import substitution
