    I don’t blame social media for this one. I dk where you grew up but being from the US… our government lies to us all the fucking time.

    (sorry for what I’m about to do)

    'Member Iraq has WMDs? 'member Abu Ghraib? 'member Gitmo? 'member “waterboarding isn’t torture”? 'member we had no warning about 9/11? 'member the “kill team” who took human body parts? 'member Iran-Contra? 'member “I am not a crook”?

    And those are just the popular ones.

        More examples that come to mind:
