If Joe Pedo had beat Kamala out of the nomination, all of the Waffle house waitresses would be Waffling Dipstick Court Judgettes.

Central TX is covered in the worst 1/4” of snow ever. Everyone is stocking up on toilet paper due to the strange snow induced diarrhea symptom which seems to occur with snow or ice.
Politicians are being criticized for not delivering toilet paper and bread to people who can’t maintain a 4 day supply.
You mileage may vary.🤪

For the time being you may just have to be satisfied by videos of Mickey D’s being torn up because someone (or something) did not get their order right.

Our Walmart is cleaned out. Not bad for people who don’t have any money except for Concerts, Sporting Events, new SUVs, luxury Pickups and Caribbean Cruises with Disney.

Sounds similar to the apocalyptic dusting we got here in eastern TN.

If they’ll brawl on a cruise or at Water parks they’ll do it anywhere.
