Politics explained.
nachocheeseandanarchy:
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is Politics?”
Dad says,
“Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I’m the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the People.
The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working Class.

Trigger Warning: Please Report This Group on... →
exvee:
The title of the group is “Rape Jokes are Funny!”
Just go to the bottom right of the page and click ‘report.’
