So are we."
2016-06-20
"Hey, NRA! Are those most of our elected GOP members of Congress in your pocket? Or am I just too depressed to finish this joke? Up next: a look at how Donald Trump is making crackpot paranoid fascist slogans great again. The U.S. is taking away the right of Native Americans to hear cases in their own tribal courts, and we're not even giving them any smallpox. We conclude with an act of kindness and compassion more powerful than any high-capacity assault rifle."
