Can you believe it took military tribunals to show the "dems" the truth? I mean the democrats didn't even try to hide it.
Just found out my sister was a "dem", I really need to get her out of politics.
Did you hear about the massive footprint the "dems" have under their control? It's pretty scary.

a marginally slow, sloth-like creature, usually found in their parent's basement playing video games, pissing and shitting in a bucket, and living amongst their own excrement. Fat, greasy, neckbeard-ish, degenerate delinquents.
Look at these dem doos. Just seeing them is absolutely vile and disgustingly vile experience. They are such dead-weight losses to their families and society at large.
