Ugh…I was going to make a joke about how respect and dignity didn’t sound right for this country.

Then the punchline was going to be an 1800s era version of ICE. But as I tried as I could, I just couldn’t make it funny. I just kept trying to rework the joke, but no matter how I tried it, I just got angrier and angrier, because it’s a real thing that actually is happening.

Fuck Earth.
