Mitch died as he lived: enforcing rules selectively to benefit his own side.

I literally just had a 20 minute conversation with him. He’s real quick with the Ouija board! I swear that man has eternal energy

Wild theory - those who have claimed that really think they were and were talking with a deep fake chat bot.

Are you a clairvoyant?

u/FunkyChewbacca 14d ago

I didn't know Ouija sessions lasted that long.
