4. Go ahead, hold your hearing....
... in the broom closet where no-one cares except yourself.

MIC needs to be cut down over 90%

GOP also needs to be shown this chart - EVERY FUCKING DAY!



Ask those a-holes WHY we need to spend 7x the amount to the nearest guy - and China owns us.



Fucking idiots.
