I think you just described Joe Biden.

Patriotism is holding your country accountable when it does wrong, not screaming to silence others who dare question it. That’s just plain ol’ nationalism and the Russians and Chinese have it in spades as well (we just mock them for it while ignoring our own). Chanting ‘USA’ to drown out unfavorable opinions and…

You’re an iron goddess. Respect.

That goes into the pantheon of truest statements ever:

“Fentanyl is your friend.”

Also Roger Ailes’ Sugartits Jam.

JEB!erry preserves made out of turtles and hopelessness.

KluKluxKranberry....
