He did it! Brought peace and unanimity to the Middle East! Everyone thinks he’s a moron.

Wait, how did they mess with passports?

Drive on the left with right-drive cars is a big one.

Don’t feel bad. If you bought one in the last 8 years, you weren’t paying attention because he had already called the diver who rescued the soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand a pedophile because they refused to use his horrible, horrible submarine idea. The man has always been megalomaniac.

When you own a piece of land, the feds own you, when you own all the land, you own the feds.

I think it’s spot on for how someone with borderline personality disorder behaves.

Yah. Same.

Fishes, S2E6, is a fucking wild ride.

Reader mode at least helps you cut to the chase.
