Usual nonsense to follow

I ran for class president but got eraser clapper.

“The best thing about the pandemic is that I don’t have to shake hands with those disgusting people any more.”

Because the rally-thrower lost.

And his followers still can’t believe it. Because there were rallies.

And they still give him money and attend rallies, even though he’s supposedly a “billionaire” and hasn’t even said that he’s running.

Sad!

Its been a couple of months since I checked in, thought I would see if there was anything original? Nope. Bye.

Is this arc going to continue for the next 5 months?

And also, hello to Standard Carmen #4, which is different from #2 in subtle ways.

[A Paragraph Plagiarized From Wikipedia] “Much like Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act in 1830, the Mexican-American War was in order to take land away from its indiginous (sic) group, and, like the Removal Act, it was met with much backlash from Northern progressives. The war was a result of border disputes between the US and Mexico; the US had attempted to annex Texas in 1845 after many Americans had moved there to settle, but Mexico kept recognizing Texas as their Northeast province. After a purchase of Texas proposed by James K. Polk was rejected, Polk ordered troops to go into the territory. Soon attacked by Mexican forces, Congress declared was against Mexico and the United States handily won the war, gaining not only territory in Texas, but also in much of the Southwest. The war as considered a victory for the US due to the vast amount of land gained, but also received criticism as an unfair, greedy land grab against a sister republic that had done no harm.”

Manifest Destiny Hum-m-m-m-m-m … sound familiar?
