May 2017

There was an episode of 'Unhappily Ever After' where the parents say something about how 'if the media reports it, it must be true.'
The daughter says, "Does the name Richard Jewell ring a bell?"
One parent, "Wasn't he the guy that bombed the Olympics?"
Daughter, "No. No he wasn't. He wasn't the guy."
Parent, "That's not how I remember it."

The Republikkans are the parent. They'll remember it some other way and it'll be the biggest evil in US history
