Quote of the day: “An infinite amount more where that came from”

           - Danyl at Dim Post - “An infinite amount more where that came from

@stevemag ... lol ... imagine we spoke that way about common thieves and burglars. "I gave my cellphone to a mugger". "I gave my car to a thief". The most amazing con was the government convincing the masses that we're giving our money voluntarily.
