All the little people must learn to deal with life on their own.

"The government's job is to protect everybody -- their safety, and their welfare, as well as their liberty. It says so right there in the Constitution..."

And it's not just in the Constitution. It's right at the beginning. In the gosh dang PREAMBLE, which is the part everyone who's read any of it has read.

What a maroon!

Is it to make the already-wealthy more wealthy? Control women's bodies? Keep "those people" in line?
Tell us, Brian.

(Quick reminder: Douchey and Killme are the "he was no angel" guys. They made researching the lives of murder victims* to find any excuse to "justify" their murders the thing it is today.)
*well, a certain sort of murder victims...

23. Pendejo45's 2016 RNC Convention Acceptance Speech ...

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its citizens.
Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.

1st - Maybe Brian Kilmeade should read this paragraph, and tell Pendejo45, that he was wrong about governments duty.

2nd - I kept posting this paragraph during the campaign hoping Biden would use it, but I never heard him say this.
I thought this was a perfect sound bite against Pendejo45, using his own words, based on the lack of defending lives against Covid.

And that is difficult for our man Brian. Look at ALL those syllables ... tranquility, posterity ... and the complicated sentences. Brian is still working through the easy reader series, which is why he was shook about Dr. Seuss. He hasn't finished Hop on Pop yet.

because the actual word "protect" is not used... only "form," "establish," "insure," "provide for," "promote," and "secure." What? A sin-oh-nim is some kind pf spice and a thesaurus is a dinosaur, which everyone knows are extinct.

That I saw a post about a school board voting to end teaching Civics or anything about slavery in their school district today.

That falls right in line with this fox idiot who for years now has just said one dumb thing after another.

Cigarettes and Alcohol would be illegal if this were the case that they have to protect everybody, among many other unhealthy things government allows.
