The SAA is the "Stupid Society of America" and we represent the many of our citizens who are less than intelligent...
None of us, I repeat, none of us in the SAA, NONE, want to be associated with the asshole Mr. Trump

"The Lord of the Flies is a great book. Just great. There were a ton of flies...whole bunch of flies. This one character, he was the lord of them. Lord of the flies."
