It's time to be valiant. Are we still made of the stuff that the founders and those who risked everything to defend freedom were made of? We have cowards running the government. We have cowards screaming fake news and spreading propaganda who hide behind computer keyboards laughing their asses off all the way to their bitcoin account. We have a country littered with ammosexuals who would cry "no fair" if they couldn't threaten families and babies with their dicks of death while hiding in some cornfield.
Are we going to sit at the cable TV going tisk tisk until America is obliterated. I'm sure many American citizens will just try to change the channel when they realize it's all gone.
