Literally a dystopian world over there

[MuffinStuffer_TV]

I just don't understand why the world is this way. Everywhere there is injustice.

Maybe the US MILITARY needs to focus on growth instead of pronouns.

[hhheee]

Just training for what they want for the rest of the world

[Zeth]

Just think, there are some here in the US that wanted the same for us. Remember this when you go to the polls next month!

Anyone get the feeling the 30s are repeating in history?
