In an interview, Mr. Barreto said that his concerns about the finances of the religious organization became the main driver for staying in the hotel. He called it his patriotic duty as an American citizen, likening his efforts to someone having been able to stop one of the hijackers before the Sept. 11 attacks. “I’m sorry I disrupted your attempt to finance weapons of mass destruction,” Mr. Barreto said. “It’s Mickey Barreto versus North Korea.”

Holy shit, this is the funniest thing I've read in a hot minute hahaha

“You’re putting a drug, a medicine, in our water to treat tooth decay without the informed consent of the people,” Crowther said.

"Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?" strangelove-wow

Also related, a Richmond, VT waterworks employee secretly lowered fluoride levels in the town's drinking supply for a decade.

Empty words for a near-impossible task. You can't imprison "enemy non-combatants" on American mainland nor can you commit political suicide by deporting them to their home country.

What's even the point of promising this? What undecided voter is dying on this hill?
