Got screwed.

What a surprise!

I’m sorry but I don’t have any sympathy for the people in these stories. Trump, in many ways, has always been transparent. He told us what he would do but too many people like these ignored the important things to focus on the hate and bigotry.

Ye shall reap what you sow, suckers.
