hey, you f-ing toads in Virginia elected the gub mint you have.
Live with your choices dumb asses.
And as full term babies are legally murdered as a result of your choices, good luck when you all go before Saint Pete with your resume’s of infanticide.
One update before buying anything - the pastor put himself on Facebook live. Folks in the cars got it on their phones and bluetooth delivered it to the car speakers. He also had loudspeakers outside for those up front who may not have had a smartphone. Rain? No idea. Pretty nifty.
Liquor Stores are essential. One of the few things with Ralphy that I agree with.
Thanks Berosus.
hey we did a drive in this past sunday where people stayed in their cars, worked great, talked to the people by phone through the radio will continue to do so! thanks!
Very neat! Gets kinda tough to pass the plate if they stay home while seeing you on a phone. Ew, PayPal.
yes, and under northrams new orders i believe we can still do it, as its not really in person, its in car! so thats what we are going to go with!
