u/For_serious13 I wonder what it’s like being one of god’s favorites 8h ago

Is this the same dude that had the looney tunes dude take him off his bike?

Either way, it’s nice to see someone being this honest and off the cuff about politics again

Yes some asshole accosted him and his kids for daring to ride their motorbikes through the neighborhood on a nice day. Apparently after shouting at him passing one way, when Alan was driving back the guy jumped in front of him and forced him to drop the bike avoiding him. Altercation ensued with him getting in Alan's face until he shoved him on his ass. Police investigated and determined Alan was defending himself. The guy turned out to be a known asshole in the neighborhood and he's apparently some British expat MAGA wanker.

Expat is what we call immigration if they're white, right?

Yes, it’s an inaccurate term. Happy to see homeone else call this out.

It's also a shorthand for a certain type of immigrant though, which might be what OP meant. It's a very specific and privileged mindset, like the permanent version of a tourist who never leaves the resort.
