    “hey guys, if some one tells you to break the law, you don’t actually have to break the law, you know? Please don’t break the law”- Kelly. “FUCK YOU FOR UNDERMINING OUR ORDERS!!”- Party of Law and Order.

    Well, yeah. Telling people not to break the law, shouldn’t be a punishable offense. But, here we are, having to get the courts involved.

    I wouldn’t mind this guy being the president tbh. Sure he’s a pilot, but at least he wasn’t Air Force.

      Heh, yeah he wasn’t a pilot, he was an aviator. 🙄

      Seriously though, I’d vote for a former astronaut for president any day.
