Explosions are non-binary. It’s OK to allow scaling for size

OBAMA: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*ck things up."

Sure, but given the Obama-driven "Destroy America" agenda, it's not always easy to know which things Obama would consider that Joe "f*cked up" versus the things Obama would consider "Done per directions".

Cloward-Piven Strategy and all that....
