It's being erased and rewritten in front of our eyes.
And what's being done about it?
Pumpkin McFascist will deliver another speech about how he has eliminated censorship from government and brought back free speech and the ministry of truth will applaud his absolute 100% honesty.
Truth is whatever the party says it is at the time they say it is until it is inconvenient.

It's official, I no longer respect the US military. Fucking fascist bootlickers.
8 1 ReplySince fucking high school, and that's 15 years ago. I have held firm that I do not support the military, but I do support the soldiers.
The men and women who actually serve have my respect. The institution and its leadership do not.
