There's a difference between "bad ass" and "bad asshole," but that distinction has apparently escaped Mike Lee.

It’s taken 7 years for Mike Lee to thoroughly trash his reputation- Vivek did it as he came out the ‘starting-gate’.

Mike Lee is a theoretically grownass man who goes by "Basedmikelee" on Xitter.

It's the cringe of a middle-aged man with a convertible hitting on baristas.

Like so many right-wing middle age "hipsters" Mad Mike is trying to approriate a word's meaning, not realizing the initial meaning remains.

Perhaps the hypocritical-hipster Lee wants it both ways when trying to snag a barista as Sister-Wife #2 by coming off as either a free-baser or being "un-woke", or both.

The X is pronounced as a soft “sh” 💩

Without standards, you may as well be a Republican.

I think the modern Zed term is "Straight fire" but my primary reference is 25 so he's getting a little too old to be considered lit.

I can't pull off charmingly out of touch if I actually get the slang right, now can I?
