There may have been some light treason also

Who among us has never committed a tiny bit of light treason though…

I have a confession... I never said the Pledge of Allegiance. I always just mouthed watermelon and put my left hand over the wrong side... Republicans probably think I'm more treasonous than Trump.

I'm a teacher and have to pretend to be a good boy during the daily pledge. I have kept this up since high school: I always pledge allegiance to the United Snakes of America, and.end with reminding myself that there is really only liberty and justice for the rich and famous.

I think it's my bad memory of Jello Biafra's remake

Edit: Words are hard.

I never did the pledge. In fact, I never bothered to learn it.

PS: Never went to school in US

According to the posts, Trump supporters began to appear at rallies donning diapers and holding signs that said "Real Men Wear Diapers." Some of them reportedly nicknamed the former president "Diaper Don," and one woman wore a sweater that said "Diapers Over Dems."

I'm glad to see the Snopes writers having fun with it lol

Just a smidge.

I just about said "as long as there's no barrotry" but I'm not 100% convinced he hasn't done that now too...
