People post their ages, and these forums have had a stagnant userbase for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of actual teenagers still on here is in the double digits.

Granted, Covok is 24 and he's a hysterical dipshit, so your statement isn't totally without credence.

It wouldn't actually be hard to figure out the average age on these forums, or at least get an approximate estimate of it.

Go through all user's profiles and get their reg dates, assuming they were 18 or over when they registered.

If we go to user 100k, they are from 2006. User 150k is from 2009. The rest, 70k users are after that. So almost 2/3s of the forums users have been here for more than 10 years, either over 30 or pushing 30.

You're joking but this is exactly how he says it in the gofundme description:

quote:

My daughter Nicky is 8 years old and she has been battling sarcoma cancer for over a year now. She loves art, dancing, learning new things, and making new friends. Nicky is trying to stay positive after having doctors remove a very large tumor on her arm, but now needs to have a second surgery to remove a new tumor. Please help Nicky get the surgery she needs. Thank you!

I don't know if it's because of the current time, but all of these last few tweets with damning news have like zero trump supporters in them. It really feels like his online support is getting tired and dying down. it really is a lot easier to attack than to defend.

it's either that or they're secluding themselves in echo chambers, much like liberals did during the Obama years.

Is having daughters the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a daughter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 18 years solely so she can go and support the man who publicly disparaged you. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime, making her go to sports practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her, playing with her. All of it has one simple result: She will openly shill for Donald Trump. I find this to be very concerning, if true.

As a man who has a daughter, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a girl for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

This right here was a really stupid move, because whatever appears on CNN, NYT and other places can be readily dismissed by Trump's base, but by posting it himself he just made it all unquestionable truth to both sides.

Now he posted the thing, completely removing any shadow of doubt that it's real and NYT can make the article even more damning and with data that has already been verified by Jr. himself.
