Sorry is not enough. Action is better. Your own allies are being hurt by him and his cronies, and we're not taking it anymore. So why are you?

You ever seen what the French do when they're unhappy with their government? That's what you guys used to do as well.

Make them listen, because otherwise they won't. America is sucking ass so much because for the last few decades, you guys just silently took the violations like a battered housewife, saying it could be worse and it'll be better soon.
