While that racist Boer dildo Elon rakes #profit blowing up #rockets in our shared atmosphere ... who do you suppose gets the bill for the negative externalities? Hmm?

Allow me to present the founding members of the “Dogs Do So Eat Pancakes!” club.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.

"The use of the word 'vermin' is a surprisingly precise and archaic choice of language for a man with a limited vocabulary. Too much so to be coincidental with the Nazis’ use of the German word for vermin, 'ungeziefer', to describe and dehumanize Jews. Trump clearly understands the power of marginalizing segments of the population by dehumanizing them…."
