@GottaLaff this is excellent and JFC what took this so long to happen? We just screw over everybody that doesn't have millions in lawyers.

@Frankc1450 @GottaLaff

Remember, Republicans like Trump consider those who serve the nation are "chumps and losers".

That's why it took so long.

You can spend a generation of young people's lives protecting the oil interests of Republican billionaire donors and receive nothing in return except empty platitudes and watching American democracy be sold off to Russian and OPEC oil kleptocrats.

@Npars01 @GottaLaff it's TRUE! For every Bernie Sanders there's a thousand officials who don't give a flying f*ck about anybody that's not pouring money into their pockets. It's exhausting!
