When did we rewrite the Constitution?

Isaiah 5:20 applies.

There are always ways of not hiring these weirdos.

One must be careful to be subtle.

It’s time for shadow civilization. Do business with and hire solid conservatives as much as possible. Only order from red states. Use cash or barter.

Love that pic. It needs a caption like “Hi, I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you”. They should practice what they preach.

I dont know there are a couple where I work.

They are harmless enough, but the CREEPY factor is very high. Why they think normal people accept or want to be around them is beyond me. Mutilated Men trying to act like women.

If your new secrtary wears a dress and has a p*nis, never ask, “How many words a minute can you type?”

You may end up in court.
