On the brighter side, it’s perfectly fine for them to starve.

Big mistake. The U.S. encourages drinking and singing. That’s the only way our government has been able to stay in power so long.

The only exception to the “no singing” rule is for songs in praise of the Dear Leader. Everything that isn’t forbidden is mandatory.

Women got the vote in this country and the next thing you know, drinking was illegal too, plus they gave us an income tax.

What can they revolt with? The military controls the guns and they are scared to death of the little moron. The CIA needs to do their job and pinpoint this dude and make him and his entourage eat a bomb sandwich.

Reminds me of a sign placed by a landowner on an isolated stretch of road.
No Stopping. NO parking. No fishing. No hunting. No necking and Stiye out!
Yep. Stiye out!
