So get used to things sounding stupid, because I reiterate:


As we continue to fight and to tell the TRUTH about those bastards
We must first address a pretty important distinction:

When President Truman, whom I paraphrased in the title to this OP, said, "Sometimes, you just have to tell the truth about those bastards", I am sure that a large majority of the motherfuckers to whom he referred were *actually* *not* *really* *bastards* in that they were probably born within wedlock.

But it isn't the fucking *POINT*, is it?

I say this because there will be MUCH more "Soviet Donald" bantered about...MUCH more KGOP, and YES, we *know*

But it isn't the fucking *POINT*, is it?

Stay strong DU...18 days until we're under water. Keep telling the fucking truth about those bastards. And thumb your fucking nose WILLFULLY at any bastard motherfucker trying to tell you they were born in wedlock. Because it isn't the fucking *POINT*, and we God damn well know it.

It is not exactly a secret HoneyBadger Dec 2016 #1
again...the failure of the press too...utter failure. LaydeeBug Dec 2016 #2
That it is "not exactly a secret" does not deny the premise of the OP. LanternWaste Dec 2016 #6
