Surprises coming for voters for the Leopards-Eating-Faces Party

…then take their bag of stuff once the cameras are turned off.

Well, yeh, of course. Who knows what they might be smuggling out? Bombs? Gold and jewels?

You give them paddle balls. (Blazing Saddles reference)

I think Trump’s is broken.

Where I work we’re having a shortage of workers - that sort of thing is so far down the list of things to do I doubt it would happen.

Folks, use a little hand sanitizer to clean off the surface where you’re going to apply the sticker so it adheres better.

But let the sanitizer dry completely before applying the sticker.

If you spend $15 on stickers, your face is an appetizer.

“Jews For Jesus? Hold my beer!”

With 3-hours notice. What’s not to like?

I’m pissed about USAID getting shut down (it has a direct impact on many of coworkers), but I have no sympathy for the farmers. They should know more than anyone else, you reap what you sow.

Also known as “FAFO”
