but also because I would rather be hung upside down by my toes than listen to the whining little handed fascist that lies every time his little yap opens.

[usaf-vet]

133. This SOTU was one continuous string of lies and misrepresentations.

This SOTU was one continuous string of lies and misrepresentations.
