Attention Attention!!
I want to meet up with Fellow American Citizens in gun friendly states. The purpose of the meet up will be to gain experience with firearms and exchange knowledge and ideas on survival techniques.
I am not looking to formally join a militia as all militias have been infiltrated by the feds, local police and even the commie-fascist scum bag BLMers and the so called Antifa.
Please do not discuss such things as invading U.S government property or kidnaping lefty scum bag politicians. I am not interested and I do not want to hear it.
Please accept the fact that I am attracted to minority women and am usually fornicating with one.
If you respond please embrace the principle of All Men are Created Equal!!
Thank You

James Madison lost a 1777 election because he didn’t “swill the planters with bumbo” (or provide free liquor to voters). His opponent was a tavern keeper and adhered to the old practice. With persistence in 1780, Madison became the youngest delegate on the Continental Congress at 29-years-old
