Forward. You see, Donald Trump is stuck in the past. But its like i say to my husband, doug, when he leaves his phone at the chilis. We are not going back you know, Trump And Vance are weird. All right . They want the government to control what you do in your bedroom, what books you read. You know, in minnesota, we have a saying, mind your Damn Business we also have another saying in minnesota, my nuts froze to the park bench. They say that me blaming the democrats for inciting violence is the pot calling the kettle black. Frankly, i didnt know the kettle was black until very recently. I thought the kettle was indian. Then it decided to turn black. I miss Joe Biden oh, joe. We miss Joe Biden, folks. What we wouldnt give to have him stand next to me and be old.
