There's absolutely an audience out there who doesn't care what you did to who or what you sold out for how much. If you're someone who abuses others or sells out for a big bag, congratulations, that's your audience. Enjoy it or don't, but don't come bitching to your ex about who you're with now.

If you break it I probably won't find you all that funny anymore; hard to laugh when you have the ick.

Shit is so bad that the best American news of the week is that Dolly Parton didn't die.

Giving a bunch of ignorant, hateful, easily threatened goons carte blanche to roam American cities and abuse unarmed citizens was always a horrible idea, but wait until their budget explodes when the Big Bullshit Bill kicks in and their ranks swell.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

That’s exactly what meds to happen. People need to protest outside of news organizations demanding they do their damn jobs. Many days in a row.
