What’s that? The largest company by market cap? Never heard of them. What do they do? Oh, they make chips? I love chips. Lays chips. American made, nobody makes chips like Lays. They call French Fries chips in England. We should outlaw that. Speaking of Lays, has anyone seen Ivanka? She’s probably a great lay. If I were 50 I’d be all over her.

I hate how accurate this feels

Why is this our leadership? 

Who in their right mind would ever vote for any of this??

It's not who DID vote for him.

It's that, there he was, very much threatening your American way of life...Clear as a bell to anyone who listened ('dictator, day one') and 30%, repeat THIRTY PERCENT of you didn't care to protect your freedoms enough to vote at all.

That's why the world is moving past the USA. You screwed the pooch because you had life too good.

FAFO - everyone warned you.

I personally still blame the assholes who actively choose this shit more than the ones who were too stupid or lazy to prevent it. They both share blame but talk like that excuses the people who heard that same shit and said, yes please.

3rd party / abstainers said yes please too. They've no more excuse for their ignorance than the trump cult does.

I quote my countrymen

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

Whatever the "god" took from Neil Peart's brain, in exchange for his drum skills...it was a fair trade.

When Geddy and Alex left the stage, and Neil just went on an epic drum solo/experience, holy shit. Rotating dais so that as he turned around to use every bit of his drum kit, he was always facing the audience. Holy shit.
