@coliver What's that? The president and all government officials are a bunch of self-serving morons?

I already knew that. I keep looking to the sky in order to see the N Korean missile headed my way because of some ridiculous twitter post the Fucktard-In-Chief posted. Because when I see the shit's about to go down, I'm going out with a bang.

I don't mind -- some of their stuff is good... But if it keeps going up, they'll price themselves out of my budget.
