"Time to Use the Chainsaw"

I'm not advocating for violence against clowns, but...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Also: Yes, the clown did dye his hair green. Down there.

In case you were wondering.

Because I know you were.

"Love You, Decapitated Clown Head"

As they always used to say at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus: "The only good clown is a dead clown!"

Or something along those lines. I don't know clown history.

The important thing here: HE DEAD!

Syphilis in itself is not a funny disease, but when someone truly horrible and despicable and toxic who also happens to be an American president has it...SO HILARIOUS!!!

The United States may be full of misinformed, flag-waving, gun-toting monsters, but on the bright side, at least...wait...what was my point?

You know what? Considering where we are now, giant purple monsters invading the planet would be an IMPROVEMENT! BRING THEM ON!!!
