The broadcast did not address the following: Why does promoting democracy have to include the killing of children and vulnerable people? Why are weapons our number one export? …
This is from Reddit, where the description read, “She asked the balloon wrangling dude for a machine gun. He added a touch of awesome.” This Smithsonian-bound photo comes with a super-sized combo of illustrative details at no extra cost.
