Our government was designed, probably not intentionally but it is possible, to not work.

American exceptionalism strikes again
Republicans (see, it's right there in the name) have been openly mocking people who think we live in a democracy for literally my entire life

You would not fucking believe how many toddlers find their dad's "unloaded" pistol, please do not ask me how many times a year I am rewarded for my poor life and career choices by being reminded of this
Wtf you mean "will be reclassified," they magically somehow always take the shooter into alive if they're white and didn't 4chan themselves
New topic - Epstein's mass casualty event simulation training center for youths in rural New Mexico
If you've ever wondered whether you meet the formal diagnostic criteria for narcissism causing impairment to your life to the point where it is a full fledged personality disorder - congratulations - you now no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for narcissism.
That was just a deep undercover cop/mob guy (sorry, I always confuse organized crime with the police, I'm working on it) on a bender though, shit happens all the time.
lol no
