Bovino overcompensating for his micro-penis condition

as he's also culturally from East Africa, it wouldn't have been out of the ordinary for him to call her his "mom".

In a shocking turn, the Nobel Peace Prize was NOT awarded to someone who blows up boats in international waters, frees violent mobs who attack the nation, or sends in troops on their own people.

Honestly, why would it even be a consideration?

This is scary. Look at their actions at Rutgers Univ:
