This is not how bruce willis is supposed to be handling a global pandemic. Were getting to see the insides of a lot of peoples houses right now. Even politicians. Senator Lindsey Graham gave us a glimpse into his confirmed bachelor pad after holding up the stimulus bill because he was concerned greedy and lazy nurses and Hospital Personnel would take unemployment money instead of showing up for work. Yesterday, he changed his tune significantly, to send those same people his thanks and support on world health day.
