A can of drained diced tomatoes and some spinach can also work.

My dad and I in Portland.

An older man with a white beard, green ball cap and sunglasses holds a sign saying “U.S. Air Force vet - served 1971-1974 - I swore and oath that I would defend the U.S. constitution. My oath wasn’t to defend a wannabe king” and the No Kings emblem of a crossed out crown. Standing next to him is a younger woman, wearing a dark blue early 1800s dress , apron and white cap, holding a sign that says “ My great great great great grandfather didn’t fight a king for me to submit to a dictator.”

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

I can’t afford full size but I just try to have a lot of the fun size. Last year, I had chocolate coins (it was part of my costume; I was Pippi Longstalking). You would have thought they were actual gold coins from the way the littles were so excited about them.

My dad also loves candy corn. Years ago, he visited a friend’s house and saw a dish of it on a side table. He helped himself to a few & the friend said, “Do you like candy corn? I don’t care for it but my husband loved it. I only bought it for him.” Her husband had been dead for several years.

I love candy corn but only in the orange/yellow/white colors, only in the corn shape, and only Brach’s. Everything else tastes wrong to me.

Yes, count me in for whichever!

They purchased their own? I thought someone was paying the protestors. Where’s Antifa headquarters? Surely they have reimbursement forms or something…

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

There is no leader of Antifa.
There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.
