I sorta wish I were on speaking terms with a MAGArad. Cuz, well, I got questions. Here are two.
🔷Drug prices have been cut by 600%, per DJT. I have a script I pay $1K for. When is my $5K check coming from the pharm company?

Driving back from my weekly shopping run to New Jersey, I was heading for the FDR on West Ave. Passed by the Hobby Lobby.
Thought hit me. Each Hobby Lobby store should be required to employ a minimum of three atheists per store and have sections that feature items for Wiccans, Pagans and Mages.
