Our concepts of "free" differ.

They think free means "costs no money" when we want free to be "has no cost".

Yeah "Free" but do this this, this aaaand this.

That ain't free, costs me my time effort and probably my kidney (it's somewhere in the Terms Of Service, I bet!)

Guess Trump will be abducting Carney and 'running Canada' like Venezuela now, since we apparently have pissed off the Dept. of War for sending buttplugs to Bahrain. What a world.

U.S. Department of War Defense

Only an act of Congress can rename the department. Trump can write whatever bullshit he wants but it doesn't make it fact.

Only an act of Congress can allow the US to invade a sovereign nation yet here we are.

Only an act of Congress can allow the US to *insert one of the many things he did last year* .

...how in the fuck can absolutely anyone consider this a shitpost?!

Glide@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 239d

There seems to be a collective in this community that mistake "shitpost" for "there are no rules about posting."
