75. OMG Remember the day the World ended? Someone called the President POSUCS! And it just ENDED!

Thu Jul 30, 2015, 12:42 AM

Jul 2015

First, President Obama caught wind of it and called a suicide hotline, then his DAUGHTERS read about it and ran away from home in total shame, and FLOTUS Michelle Obama threatened him with divorce! Then, to top it all off, nuclear weapons started raining down on the country!

What's that you say? None of that happened? Yeah but it coulda! Heck I myself called the Secret Service to let them know someone needed to be arrested for such a public display of disrespectful speech. Toward the President of all people.

What? A few hundred people at most are even aware it was posted? BS! The whole WORLD reads, lives and dies over what's posted here!
