    Cabinet nomination incoming…

    That’s a terrible reaction for Fuentes to have to someone ringing his doorbell. What did he have to be afraid of his life for? I hope she recovers swiftly.

        When you’re scared of something outside your house, you don’t open the door wide and immediately attack it? But they could just be loitering out there forever. Scaring you forever

          Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, he’ll knock all day I’ll be trapped, and here I’ll have to stay

      Our species’ weakest are inexplicably scared of everything. It might’ve been a useful trait at times in the forgotten past, but we’ve evolved a lot.

      It’s one of those traits reserved for “persons of special consideration”, if you know what I mean.

      He said he was afraid because of what he posted online, which implies he is afraid of everyone all the time now. So, I can only assume this is the first person to ring his doorbell since he posted online, as that is his only possible reaction.

      Not trying to justify his actions, because he’s a piece of shit; but how this woman thought going to an online strangers house to confront them on camera was a good idea is beyond me. Hope she got some TikTok views I guess.

        going to an online strangers house to confront them on camera

        Isn’t that what journalists are supposed to do? Ya know… Investigate?

        If it was some Fox News personality that went to his door would it be any different?

        What about a concerned neighbor? Or literally anyone who just happened by that day and say, found their mail was delivered to the wrong address. Or any number of reasons.

        It’s never legitimate to open your door and immediately pepper spray someone ringing your bell. If you think they’re dangerous you could just not open the door or perhaps call the police or any number of other completely normal reactions.

        Of course, if you’re a total psychopath Nazi then it might seem like a normal reaction 🤷

          You seemed to miss my first sentence. His reaction is OBVIOUSLY not OK.

          The point is there are crazy fuckers everywhere and going to confront someone you don’t know on camera is fucking dumb. It could have gone much worse for her (again to reiterate, because apparently I need to spell it out for you, I DON’T THINK THAT’S OK, but it was a seriously possibility and pretending it wasn’t is again, fucking dumb).

          And did I miss something in the article? Where does it say she was a journalist investigating anything?

          You and riskable up there must be a couple. You both like running around being a presumptuous ass. Anything else you wanna tell me I think?
