48. A few interactions with the morons

Feb 2017

When I told them business tax giveaways are roughly 12x the cost of welfare " I don't have a problem with that"
When I bring up any fact, like say, the veterans votes the r's record. "You are a liar"
And if I persist, they get all"I ought to kick your ass"
But when I tell them that wouldn't be a good idea, as I will fight back, strangely, they back down.

So, nope, they are fucking brainwashed. But I sure like seeing them get all red faced.
Because I will no longer be silent.
