31. "We must take our government back!" Abso-fucking-lutely!

Tue Sep 25, 2018, 10:21 AM

Sep 2018

These goons have hijacked our democracy and we need to take it back. Yes, there is a vast left wing conspiracy! It is a conspiracy to restore constitutional protections, and checks and balances. It is a conspiracy to turn the government around and start serving the people rather than the wealthy and their corporations. It is a conspiracy to kick corrupt Republican traitors out of office and pay for their crimes against our nation.
