      So EXTREMELY on the nose for both Trump presidencies, except for the government being the ones arguing FOR “nonstandard” people being people…

      Then again, betraying all the other stated principles of their ideology in favor of collecting more tariffs IS very typical too, so swings and roundabouts 🤷

        Love the very British-sounding “swings and roundabouts”, do you mean car roundabouts? Or do you call the spinny things on the playground that send you to another dimension roundabouts too? That’d make more sense than the car one with swings involved

        I get the vibe the phrase means something like “it all evens out” as well

        More like billionaire pedophiles are a special class of people that get extra rights. All other mutants get the shaft.

      On January 3, 2003, an American court of law officially ruled that the X-Men weren’t humans.

      Seems pretty consistent for America. Next they’ll compromise on 3/5ths of a person.

      That’s ridiculous. Mutants are a subspecies of human called homo sapiens superior.
