God, we are a nation of morons and deserve whatever happens to us.

LMAO, I really wonder the cognitive dissidence the conservative Catholic members of my family are using to support this clusterfuck. The Church existed before America and will continue to exist if America goes the way of the dodo bird. Themis administration is filled with the most arrogant idiots alive. If it wasn’t destroying this country, it would be genuinely impressive how bad they are at their jobs
