We invented the first internet. We can certainly invent another one.
It’s just a matter of domain servers and DOS attack filtering.

My point is that every decision made by o’zero would have also been made by Rev Wright, who as we all know, hates America. It’s the only way I cope when I hear of 0’zero’s decisions.

Putin may just use the keys to tap traffic in and out of the WH and Bluffdale station. 0 will not be happy when he gets bithslapped by his own devices.

GOPe Republicans fear everything, including puppies, kittens and purse-carrying, skinny media rats who call them racists. Oh, the horror. Some faggot might call me a name. Allow me to tremble and pee in my pants.
