If only there was some way of predicting this would happen, we wouldn't have done this! ;p

It's almost as if they'd waited until... congress... had... authorised... the war, they wouldn't be left holding the bag by themselves.

The only thing preventing me from marrying that girl is that she shoots at me whenever I approach.

What you need is an armed escort. In a month. Then she’ll be all yours!

Once you get through enough armed escorts that there is a pile of bodies to hide behind, she'll be all yours!

The old man had it coming, he was a real piece of shit. I'm not sure what she's not understanding, I think she's got some real mental problems. I just worry about her, you know?

Macron also said they won't send war ships because they might get shot at.

We attacked Florida and demanded that they don't cut off traffic to Alabama through the Gulf of Mexico. Except it isn't nearly that wide, it's 35x smaller

I mean. We should probably build a wall around Florida.
Republican goobers like catchy names. We could call it “America’s Cock Ring.”

You'd be surprised how popular that would be both in context and out.
