It’s a meme when random people on the internet post dumb pictures, it’s propaganda when the fucking white house does it.

Whatever. Now my belief that the American government is run by evil idiots is mainstream. Which is a step in the right direction I guess. I just wish people knew this like 20 years ago.

As long as the memes continue, the lawsuits will too.

It's not fake news, it's real.
Oh wait, you found it wasn't?
Then it's a joke, who would have thought it was real? Jeez

It's funny because an unedited interview of this administration will be aired, and they'll cry it's edited if their base doesn't take it well.

We have reached the limit where I as Scandinavian could smack an American down without remorse. You are so hated, America. Leave us.
Not our timeline, the American timeline.
Leave Europe dumb fucks.

It's a vocal minority and an apathetic majority, with another less-than-vocal minority trying to fight it.
It's still not right to lump every American with these assholes.
