    When was the last time the law mattered? It’s been rules for thee but not for me for decades now

      You mean centuries? From 1776? When all men were created equally? And just men. None of those pesky women! And obviously only full real men. None of those 3/5ths of a man! Legally speaking of coarse…

      I would put /s, but it’s not really sarcasm. More of a condemnation of our entire country which tries to project these ideas that we’re some great country built on respectable principals.

      Fact is, our country was a group of alcoholic degenerates, that founded our country by giving the middle finger to the king of England because the King came to collect taxes.

      From there, they decided that Native American lives meant nothing, and brutally murdered them for land.

      While all this was going on, they also placed an amazon overnight delivery order for some slaves shipped straight from Africa.

      And somehow, someway, in all of this, the NEW government decided it needed to collect taxes. You know, the whole thing that prompted this whole thing to begin with. But now they were COLLECTING taxes. Not PAYING them!

      Always has been rules for thee but not for me. Since day 1.

          I mean, being a degenerate was almost a prerequisite to get shipped over here. Cultists (puritans), criminals, prostitutes, and undesirables.

        Japan just happened to punch the wrong bystander in the eye during their last bar brawl. Then, we started shooting everyone associated with Japan. It just happened that we were shooting the countries that were more in the wrong.

        All of the people we accidentally protected assumed we were on their side and didn’t realize that we REALLY like shooting things. So much so that we’re willing to give guns away just to have an excuse to start shooting again. But by the time countries realized that we have really strange opinions on religion, the value in starvation and disease, and assigning humanity based on colors, they’d already given us the guest key.

        We have no friends, countries are either in our sights or not.
