This is the way to do this.

“As Trump continues to stop the invasion of illegals and stop the flow of narcotics into the USA, we are going to see a lot of addicts suffering from withdrawal.”

That is why the Democrats are going out of their minds.

He (apparently) goes by the moniker “RandFan” on FR. Gotta be him, else the FR character has a serious man crush on him.

“Why are so many people in the US choosing to be addicted to drugs?”

Re Landman ... We had heard good things about it, and the ads for it looked interesting. We love it. Binged Season 1 in two days. Billy Bob Thornton is so good!

Warning, though it’s a bit raw — reminds us of Sopranos. Language, boobies, etc.
