Transcript
Can't you just let things go? Because I'm doing something called playing the long game. I'm taking the back best and letting life do its thing. Have you ever had a long time hater get chopped? Oh, nothing feels better. I'm getting riled up just thinking about it. It feels so righteous because it's entirely self inflicted. They did it all to themselves. You didn't even need to intervene. You just took a side step and let them deteriorate in real time. What goes up must come down. Your arguments against me were weak, and now so is your hairline. Come on.
