Bull. Shit. You chose to be an attention seeking loudmouth.
It’s good to see the free market actually working
Right wingers are still all loaded up on horse dewormers. I’m sure they’ll be fine.
Everyone here seems pretty negative on this news. Any particular reason?
US of A checking in. Don’t forget about our right-wing!
