Are you thinking I'd get the photoshopped Fox version out of right-wing fever-dreams? With the photoshopped fires from Minneapolis, and the photoshopped gunman in front of photoshopped looters wielding photoshopped swords?
Maybe you should hyperventilate even harder than you already are and that will make them real?
Reminds me of Jesus talking in the gospels about the kingdom of heaven. "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." Hierarchy reversal loomed large in his mind as he sided with the poor and disparaged the rich.

Originally posted by Darth Ovious View PostYep, I saw that video myself in regards to the $10.

I don't actually have a twitter account so I only go on it once in a while if I see something that somebody is talking about elsewhere.
