Why are radical right wing assholes like Hannity and Alex Jones getting their panties in a wad of cows eating grass?
Seriously, a right wing dipshit on my facebook has been blowing up my account with all this horseshit.
So, out of ignorance, please help me DU. . .help me understand what the hell is going on in Nevada. And why does it feel like the right wing is itching for a civil war? And they are telling soldiers not to follow the president, just follow the country. . .what are these turd burgers complaining about?
Sorry about all the swear words, but on my facebook I got told to go back to Israel because I'm Jewish. . .and I'm a bit pissed off that these piece of crap. I never insult people on my facebook, but I had to respond with "Hell called. They want you back. Please figure out how to go there."
