I adore these two sometimes. XDD
This would be Mr. OYD and I if we ran a country, I swear it. Roles reversed.

I like that “knowing what you’re talking about” is a) the province of nerds, b) who are of course worthy of derision, and c) something they explicitly and repeatedly present as being undesirable. “I don’t actually know what any of this means, but knowing what it means is bad.”

What the fuck?! Tea partiers, what the fee-fie-foe-fuck?! You control less than half of one chamber of congress and yet have somehow convinced everyone they’ve got to slash trillions in spending because of the “deficit crisis”. Many Republicans supported extending the largest contributing policy piece to our deficit, the Bush tax cuts - take the win. What are you still angry about? Yes, government still exists. We still have “traffic lights.” We’re sorry. Not everybody defines freedom as the ability to not pay taxes. Government isn’t perfect, but some people wish it was better, not gone. This whole process has been like, you’re in a bank it’s a negotiation where you’ve got some hostages and after getting everything you wanted you’re still going, “Oh, and one last demand, I still get to kill the hostages, right?” This is the part where they all come after you, and go “You won the debate, what are you going to do now?” and you go, “We’re going to Disneyl- Colonial Williamsburg.”
