...you're representing petulant people who can't be bothered to look to see how their government works and blaming the people who are doing the actual job for those same voter's refusal to give them the tools they need to do the fucking job.
I'd tell them to fucking elect Democrats, not the fascist that's trying to end you.
I'm not their goddamn parent, but they need to grow the fuck up or just accept the shithole they allowed to happen.
You present voters as spoiled children, that's the response you get from me.

Mommy's drunk and Daddy won't pay the bills, and it's the kids who are spoiled?

Nope. This is a transcript for personal use, not commercial purposes, so it falls under 'fair use,'

"What does 'caved' mean?" A powerful trigger, symptoms include excessive online trolling and foaming at the mouth.

Thank you. Esp for the transcript, since reading enhances short and long term memory.

Lawrence thinks we can't see or understand what's going on in plain view.
