1. Unacceptible! round up the usual suspects.

What about the pallet of cash that disappeared?
That story also disappeared into the same black hole.
This entire fiasco is so totally out of any making any sense at all at this point.

The regime has made it palatable to the masses by letting it go on so long.
Most American idiots that support this insanity do so by default. Their reasoning is anything that has gone on for as long as this must be legitimate.
