thank you, #CharlamagneThaGod
for getting under orange god emperor's skin
you attack #MAGA

you're fucking clueless
this is a knife fight, there is no high road anymore, it's dead
and if these fragile narcissistic bigots are easily rattled
then rattle the fuck out of them, as a simple tactic

This is why you don't know if the water is safe to drink or the food is safe to eat or the air is safe to breath. This is why the dam failed, the plane crashed, the bridge collapsed, the town flooded.
This is why you don't know when the storm is coming or where the hurricane is making landfall.
This is why, no matter how high the water rises, or how far the fire burns, how hard the earth shakes or how fast the twister moved, nobody's coming.
You're on your own so he could have this.
