> [@DocCathode](#): > > “Today the President severed diplomatic ties with Canada. When the Canadian prime minister asked her why she had dones this, the President responded ‘If you really cared about me, you’d know.’ In other news, the bill subsidizing free chocolate for all US citizens remains tied up in commitee.” Does the USA still have a Canadian prime minister? (I’m not sure if she commutes from the USA to Spain, or from Spain to the USA.) ---

> [@Elysian](#): > > Shut the fuck up and think before you post this kind of shit. Why the fuck do you think women aren’t running the fucking country? Because of this sort of bullshit opinion from assholes like you. I don’t think this is funny. I think you’re an inconsiderate ass. > > Oh, and **SensualLips**? Think before you post this tripe also. Hate is also a female thing, and women can be as irrational as men. OBVIOUSLY. > > Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. A hundred years of female rights workers for THIS SHIT. Actually, it’s because of other women. In any case, that kind of response to a post which was obviously meant solely in jest was uncalled for (unless you’re a woman and you just lost an election, I suppose).
