Bit late for that. The phone call is already coming from inside the building. Sure, don’t fire the workers, but the big boss will happily sell your soul for sixty-two cents. It’s disturbing but I think this is the least of our concerns.

This is the suggestion that they’re taking a battering ram to our collapsed, rusted front gate. They could also just walk inside. They’re already here.

System works as designed. Americans voted a bunch of known obvious traitors into office. Now they're selling out the country. What's there to be surprised about?

When was the last time we heard any ‘the gold is probably gone from Fort Knox! We’re going to go down there to find out!’ mantra? Long enough for them to go down there AND empty it out, already? Can’t wait for the ‘it was gone* all along!’ blatantly obvious lies that we can’t do anything about to start.

Wow shocker. Just look who is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus now. Only a matter of time before people literally die because of this shit directly.
