            Always??? Nah. We’re just the latest incarnation of “the absolute worst motherfuckers always have the biggest sticks.”

            But now? Yes. We are definitely the problem.

            Everyone else please get your sticks ready. If we fail to stop this shit internally (and it ain’t looking good) you’re gonna need them.
