Time for SWPACA 2018!

Yo' Memo

Yo' memo demands so much faith that it has its own cargo cult:
In wake of Rep. Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) memo being released to the general public and declassified by President Donald Trump, the afternoon and evening was spent with pundits and security analysts combing over each word.

“I always dreamed I’d spend my retirement surrounded by my grandchildren, telling them that the F.B.I. were fascist pigs,” Carol Foyler, a former hippie who lives in Santa Cruz, said. “That dream has been shot to hell.”
