    Fuck around and find out. Goddamn idiots should have known what they’re getting into. Like their boss having moments of megalomania.

    Wow, must be bad if even the fascists are seeing the ‘descent’ into fascism as a bad thing.

      What descent? There is no descent. They started at bedrock since the beginning. People should have seen it back then.

        Sarcasm is rather hard to detect over text, especially when I don’t add sarcastic quote marks…

    You would think the name was a dead give away that they were cartoonishly evil?

    I have no simpathy at all for them at all.
