Good grief.Report
It chilled me to the bone. I mean, what kind of low IQ individual would forget to put a friggin sticker on a box? If the wingnuts weren’t so stupid, they wouldn’t be in jail. It’s not the regulatory structure, it’s the people under it. We just need to “nudge” them to act properly.

This is what happens when you hire commie-Dems to work in the fed. prosecutor’s office. You young fellows, instead of whining about missing your latest federal stipend outta check out this bs and write about it instead of waiting on some God-fearing conservative newspaper to bring you the latest news of librul, statist offenses against liberty!
