300 years of screwing poor people. Support for the 2008 bailout for Wall Street. Donations from tech companies. They claim to support Medicare for everyone but haven't done anything about it. Democrats tend to disregard working class and rural populations. In fact they denigrate them and think of them as uneducated hicks. Remember the basket of deplorables? Obama deported more immigrants than any other president.

I think there’s a misconception about elected officials. Many people believe they work to improve the lives of American citizens, but they don’t. Most of their time is spent fundraising and catering to wealthy donors. The majority of them don’t care about you at all.

Maybe I should have posted the whole joke.

The Gulag was a government agency in the Soviet Union that administered forced labor camps, particularly during Joseph Stalin's rule, especially in the 1930s through early 1950s. Stalin was not a Christian either. Similarly, if Putin considers you a threat, you may disappear. Trump has followed a similar approach, gathering loyalists in as many government positions as possible. He has vowed retribution against his perceived enemies, much like the forced internment camps the U.S. used for Japanese Americans during WWII. He may indeed imprison those who speak out against him, having already promised to deploy the National Guard against protesters.

 

It had a kaleidoscope

They preach freedom to live your best life unless you are gay, transgender, atheist. They are the worst kind of hypocrites.

I'm currently 63 years old. I spent an entire lifetime eating pretty much meat and potatoes. Over the last few years, I have decided I don't need meat. I can mix vegetables and onions and spices and make some really tasty stuff. Most of my generation are probably still stuck on meat.

It's funny, the world is safer now then it was in the 70s when I was a kid. We used to go outside and play until the street lights went out. And the crime rate is actually lower now than it was back then.

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master Master

 

It’s impossible to put down

 

There are no depths the insane will not go

 

I get a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a drink. It costs almost $15. I can go to a cafe where I'm waited on and served decent food for $20.

But it never took off

 

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.

So, let me get this straight. Joseph notices that Mary is pregnant. Joseph confronts Mary about it. And Mary replies: err, hmm, I know, the angel of the Lord came down and impregnated me. We're going to have the child of God. And Joseph is like: okay, cool.
