“Oh, so it’s ok for us to spend our paychecks on rent and heat but it’s NOT ok for us to spend our paychecks on a jetski???”

I hope you are correct. My biggest concern is that if they aren’t watching the right news channels, that they will never see this.

These moms are great. Trump is doing this, among other reasons, to regain the suburban voters in swing states and even some in red states. He’s trying to frighten them with scary black and brown “looters” from the evil big cities. I’m not sure videos of his gestapo gassing Target moms, some of whom were visibly…

I’m smirking a bit at all the comments chastising you for the state of your property.

Yep. The experience she’s describing has happened to me every time I have pre-ordered/paid for food at McDonald’s (meaning roughly a couple times a month).
