Sadly, my grandma knows this post is a Deep State plot

This bs is about 15 years old.

Again with this? This has been making the rounds literally since the days of Myspace. Some things never change.

This one's been around for donkey's years in one form or another! I've seen versions citing the Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute. People still buy it though.
