Nothing new under the sun... This is from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", from 1726:

I told him, “that a first or chief minister of state, who was the person I intended to describe, was the creature wholly exempt from joy and grief, love and hatred, pity and anger; at least, makes use of no other passions, but a violent desire of wealth, power, and titles; that he applies his words to all uses, except to the indication of his mind; that he never tells a truth but with an intent that you should take it for a lie; nor a lie, but with a design that you should take it for a truth; that those he speaks worst of behind their backs are in the surest way of preferment; and whenever he begins to praise you to others, or to yourself, you are from that day forlorn. The worst mark you can receive is a promise, especially when it is confirmed with an oath; after which, every wise man retires, and gives over all hopes.

Cop | YOU DON'T TRUST "THE SWAMP" WITHOUT ME AND MY GANG "THE SWAMP" IS POWERLESS AND YOU PAY US TO PROTECT "THE SWAMP" | image tagged in cop | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
This is funny because whenever we point out "why" the government can f**k you over people JUST like you attack us lolol

You are chair "patriots" sitting about literally supporting and defending those who oppress you on behalf of "government"

We don't care anymore about the anti-dotal "good" they do. We care that they break the law and violate the constitution. And then are protected by scribbles on paper created by "the swamp"

OK buddy, I'm going to give you one chance to actually write a response that is relevant to the meme. Since you didn't notice, we're not talking about local law enforcement or other emergency services. We're talking about the Federal track record of screwing over Native Americans.

If you can't write such a response, one that's not riddled with logical fallacies, projections, or insults, then I'm putting the kibosh to your fevered rants and blocking you. 👍
