Whats left on Putins list. Ah right, a civil war based on ethnic tensions. And destroying our legacy military might in some sort of pointless war, hopefully against an ally. And perhaps a nuclear exchange that they arent a part of. And only 3 years and ~5 months left to get that all done.

A private flight is a totally undisguised bribe. Accepting any transportation from anyone should result in mandatory prison time.
Considering the bullshit that Clarence Thomas, a Supreme Court Justice, has gotten away with; who the fuck cares at this point?

Now that’s an efficient government!

The party of fiscal responsibility and reduction of waste right there for ya.
I hope it is here like it is and all those kids shows that I watch growing up, the bad guy always loses because of their idiocy and arrogance.
“And I would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for you meddling Liberals!”
And your stoner dog…
