I mean, as somebody said, Brian Butler, I think, said, if Obama or Biden had turned the country into—and this is not his term—a flying poop factory— matched

Well, it's happened. matched

Yeah, we're like post fear mongered America. matched

Mm-hmm. matched

One of my favorite examples of why we get the regulations we do during the progressive era is that when, you know, you always hear that thing, don't take candy from a stranger. matched
