The guy on the left is so lazy he can’t even stand up straight to make his point. You got time to lean, you got time to suck cock buddy!

Nah, even my retcon explanation is a lie. I copied the quote from some famous quote website and didn’t catch the error.

See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)

It was ever thus:

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

The right side is totally inaccurate. There’s also a lot of child rape that is going on, along with the thoughts and prayers.
