I’m starting to just root for these depraved motherfuckers to burn this fucked up joke of a nation to the ground. At some point, a person can no longer feel invested in the clown show that is the American populace.

Fuck us, we deserve the consequences for our own stupidity. Just go ahead and give all your money to these rich assholes. Just go ahead and burn your own children in their wars. Enjoy your plastic $100k cars and the untreated cancer your boss man won’t pay to treat. This is your fault, and mine too.

Whoops we bombed Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle! 😗🎶
Oh nooooo... Now do Texas!!
It follows an executive order from Trump on January 27, in which he described a missile attack as the “most catastrophic threat facing the United States."
Oh please, let him. I'd love to see that one play out
