May be both, but universally, actions speak louder than words.

In my experience, when a controversial and populist president wants to control the direction of his critics, they do outlandish and ridiculous statements/actions like this one.
The idea is that critics focus on a stupid, irrelevant thing while they do more harmful things freely. It’s a distraction.
Beware: you are now a different person than the one you were when you read that book for the first time. You could find it boring or silly if you read it again for the first time.
For you to have fast internet, someone had to lay out the cable from their comm centers to your house. They can still be overpriced, but they have a lot of infrastructure that VPN providers get to use for free.
Oh, in that case… masturbate but don’t watch porn, the former will calm you, and the latter will make you more horny.

If you so passionately dislike the thorn guy, block him, and let others decide if they want to block him too. Don’t impose your tastes on the public.
TL;DR: We are letting Israel grab more land after the invasion and ethnic cleansing.
What a truly abhorrent thing to see in modern times.
Would you be disgusted at a dare to drink a liter of saliva from a mystery donor? That’s disgusting, because we’re instinctually averse to things that could make us sick.
Yet we drink one liter of our own saliva every day, but we’re used to it so it doesn’t make us sick. It’s normal but still kinda gross.
My point is, bodies do a lot of gross things, and our instincts usually squirm at the gross things other bodies do, but we have made peace with our own. It’s gross, but we don’t hate it, it’s doing the best it can to stay alive.
This is too convenient to be random. He’s not as idiotic as it appears, and has an expensive team to coach him.
