Stop talking about how shitty the orange nutcase is and start talking about how to get rid of him. The options are getting smaller and the price is getting higher. Every day. Be creative. Al Capone stumbled over his tax return, not his murders.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.
