Remember the Rebel Alliance “Post-it Note Campaign“?
Morale is key to defeating a shift toward their “New America”. It is with this in mind a simple strategy can be effective at pushing back against an oppressive regime. Keep it simple – it works.
Now is a great time to start again (simple post-its left in common places):
You can also consider changing the message on your Trump/Pence 2020 yard signs.
Just so everyone knows, it doesn’t matter which method is used, Trump will win this election. If he gets his recount, he wins. If it goes to Congress, he wins. They have until December 14th to decide this thing through a recount. If it can’t be decided by then, it goes to the house to which the GOP holds a state majority.
Don’t get me wrong, even though I know Trump will prevail, I want all these criminals to face treason.
AZ count is done for the day I guess. Update in the morning I suppose.
Where’s the AZ. count now? gap and ballots left to count?
Just under 19,000 gap. Lots left to count, I think 100K, not sure.

An endowment for Charter school scholarships needs to happen asap.
Defund the police. Strip citizen’s of their fire arms. Let a good many out of prison. Let antifa/BLM burn, loot, terrorize business, suburbanites, law abiding tax payers. Direct hate towards our Constitution and Forefathers.
Tear statues down celebrating our history. Declare payouts to violent activists for a certain race. Spend four years and tax payers money to remove a beloved President. Present a complete idiot as a replacement then laugh in our faces as they commit blatant voter Fraud … Gee, what could go wrong?
Trump 2020. You better pray he exposes the coup.
Terrible Advice. “TRUMP WON” is far superior rhetoric.
“Didn’t Win” needs to be written on Biden yard signs.
Tear down the Bite-Em-Hairless signs
“Trump elected. Biden SELECTED.”
The two I’m using/creating with my magic Sharpie are TRUMP IS POTUS and 2 + 2 = 4.
Does anyone else hate that photo of Obama over on the right, above the survival guide?I keep wanting to smash that arrogant face!
I had actually mentioned this a few days ago in a comment. But as Tangled up in blue states it is disrespectful of our many servicemen/women.
My family fought against the British as colonists so I would be disrespecting my ancestors.
I decided that possible better response would to fly it at half mast.
I was taught as a child that you could dislike someone but never to use the word hate.
Well there are no words to describe the deep visceral hate I feel for these people.
It’s gut wrenching
Just my thoughts.
God bless President Trump

Seem legit guys ?
NO..
How do you know, like with capital letters?
I have some limited experience in this, and everything in the thread was legitimately described.
Campaign team?
No
Whether or not that happened in the physical world; it DID happen in the spiritual world and for those who know both worlds know the latter is more real than the former. All things birthed in the physical world have their origin and start in the spiritual world. God and thus all heavenly agencies and courts very much care of the affairs of man and specifically the United States where His people trust and call on Him daily–if not hourly and like a Loving Father He is only too Loving and with Tender Mercy grant us our petitions.
December will be an existing month. Trump will be vindicated.

I love your vision. I embrace it. Our prayers to t he almighty God are powerful. He is all powerful and see all. Look out deep state at all levels. Our God is a just God and justice will be meted out as God chooses -and when He chooses.
Amen and i have hear 4 prophets say trump will win after this election exposes the corruption. It cannot be rooted out unless we know where it is. Amos 3:7 Indeed, the Sovereign LORD never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.
I agree. I keep thinking something is going to happen.
Something did happen. President Donald J Trump collected more legitimate and legal votes than any President in history.
We are a majority.
We are the most diverse electorate in history,
The most small donor’s in history.
We won every where.
The media committed suicide yesterday, including Fox, or should I say, especially Fox.
Our President has this, until he doesn’t. He will tell us.
Then it will time for a road trip.
Whether we all [believers/unbelievers] accept it [in our hearts of hearts] or not, God is sovereign over all creation. We use every legal means to expose, resist and fight evil. We DO NOT give in to evil.
“[5]I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: [6]That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. [7]I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. [8]Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.” Isaiah 47:5-8
Great reply. wrong scripture. Isaiah “45”:5-8
Interesting that is is “45”! 😉
Peace , love and MAGA J2
Yes!! Note the “45” and also note “5-8” indicating his next 4-yr term!
KAGWECAN — Keep America Great We Can !
Hear, hear and exactly! This is why prayer is the pinnacle of our responses, followed by being the best we can (behavior based on the 10 Commandments) and remaining optimistic/hopeful as the Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ, the Great I Am, does indeed reigns! Want a great read during this time – Life and Faith by Emmanuel Swedenborg (download at no cost from bookstore at http://www.Swedenborg.org).
If this actually happened, Q was probably in that room with the president. Military Intelligence. DIA. The guys who used to be under General Flynn.
Campaign team? Maybe a few that have the right clearances.
Nice facility.
Q has been suspiciously quiet. Last post was on the 3rd.
Ten dark days he said. Five more left, stay strong!
Q? What a joke. Disinformation. What was predicted that actually came to pass? NADA!
Red castle green castle. Worked out precisely as foretold
How do we know? 400 miles of walk built or under construction.
North Korea summit. ditto.
Gen. Flynn follows Tom Graham on Twit. That’s good enough for me.
And yet, much as I respect him, he was stupid enough to believe the FBI agents were simply coming to innocently question him.
Or maybe part of the “plan” to expose the corruption?
Q is a creation of the enemy to make Trump supporters always believing they don’t have to take action to remove the coup plotters.
The same, I do believe, is occurring right now–the two people with u tubes, Steve Pieczenik and the British guy, Dr. Charlie Ward, who both claim they were “given permission” to tell you and me that the Trump admin ran a sting on Election NIght on the Biden team, letting them run the Hammer and Scorecard and claiming guilty parties would be arrested (yesterday and the night before).
Yeah, sure. Have you heard of any arrests? Huh? Hell, no. It’s all Q shit. All “trust the plan” shit. What’s its effect? To keep us content that our guy will be the ultimate victor, to keep us from DOING ANYTHING, assured that it’s being “taken care of.”
Now, are Piesczenik and Ward purposely playing us? I have no idea. At the very worst, yes, they’re on the CIA payroll and they spreading disinformation for the reasons I stated.
At the very best, they are not purposely playing us. They are unknowing tools. They’ve been told something they THINK is true and they are spreading what they think is the truth.
Either way, nothing they have said has come true. It’s all HOPE PORN. The Jews in Poland had HOPE PORN too.
Ask yourself this:
If the Trump teams’ analytic guys could simply give a POWER POINT presentation to the public and to the justices of the Supreme Court, illustrating with data not only HOW the Hammer and Scorecard work, but SHOWING the actual tallies and then plugging in the algorithm that would produce those numbers,why the hell are they bothering going through all the other stuff while citizens are starting to accept Joe and Kam as the winners?
Where ?
Who would air it ?
The “press” is all gone commie.
No venue to reach the people…..
I wonder if our VSG will go on Rush again to reach the patriots ?
Couldn’t Newsmax or OAN air it?
LOL no. They don’t hand out security clearances like candy to just anyone, including campaign staffers.
“They don’t hand out passes”
To Team Trump, yeah.
Judging by Comey, the texts between Page & , her Counterintell pawn,, the unknown number of corporate outside contractors referenced in Collyer’# Compliance Review, , that collection of Bureau and JC creeps aren’t too choosy,
IMO. ??
Having been all over the gambit, the general consensus of prophets, seers, and visionaries with good track records, who are non-partisan and not necessarily Trump supporters and are of all religious faiths and nationalities is that Trump will be reelected. Joseph Robinette Biden will never be president; and like Hillary, he also missed his timing and due to health issues is also incapable of fulfilling the job, In the case of Biden, DEMENTIA. Time is no friend to those who suffer dementia, one month is like one year in its progression. One week can somewhat keep up a conversation, 2 months later be drooling on themselves. As far as Kamala, she is neither called nor apt nor up for the job.
Beyond the prophetic, there is the realm of reality of the physical world: Trump won and we all witnessed it on election night. What followed after the deadline was FRAUD.
The job has already been taken. God still has work for Trump to do as president and God will have His way. Trump knows this and that is why he will not concede and neither should we.
Trump already claimed victory 1am (ET) right after election. He won.
GA is headed for a recount. MI and WI are investigating voter fraud and are likely headed for a recount as well. And PA, well…let’s just say the Supreme Court will be quite eager to get involved there after the sh***t they tried to pull with Alito’s ruling. So I’d say we actually have a pretty decent change to overturn this and win!
We have roughly 330 million people in the country. Say, roughly 160 million are eligible to vote. And it takes days on end to determine the tally?
Based on total composite volume, an average of 6.43 billion shares were traded each day this year, the lowest level since 2014, when an average of 6.29 billion shares were traded each day.Dec 22, 2017.
If you equate companies to political candidates, votes to shares bought and sold. How are they able know to the second from 8:30 in the morning to 4:00 when the markets close EXACTLY what each company is worth and we are talking 6.43 billion shares daily, and we can’t even track 160 million votes? Ever see the maps of the markets on the trading platforms, varying shades of red and green depending on the volume. Bottom line is, we are dealing with people’s money and we know exactly where these companies stand financially at the end of the day.
I’m sure there is hanky-panky occurring there as well
God is not a halfway God. He is not done with His agenda with Trump.
^^^Like^^^
Trump declared it right after FOXNews declared AZ for Biden and stopped counting anything else. The creep who declared AZ for Biden was OBVIOUSLY wrong and knew it. he was practically quivering while trying to convince Bret and Martha he was correct, knowing he was a LIAR! #boycottfoxnewssponsors
Sticky idea
Fake news
+ Fraudulent ballots
—————————-
False winner
Rather revealing that comments were not allowed on UTube networks covering The Biden Media Proclamation.
I bet twitter’s DNC Conformity Enforcement Division were very busy trying to manipulate our perception of public acceptance.
Most of the President’s Tweets are now called “disinformation” and not allowed to be retweeted, so Jack Dorsey is tampering with this election and thwarted Trump’s ability to communicate with us. Ted Cruz has also been sniffled. I’ve sent a message to the President because someone needs to sue Jack Dorsey, Silencing Trump is a catastrophe
That’s a shame.
I’m hoping most know by now mass platforms are heavily propagandised.
I rely on Treehouse, as Twitter rapidly disincluded me for algorithms
I use Twitter for propaganda purposes, since the Left reads there but not here. I can slip in the President’s accomplishments on a forum where they don’t expect Conservatives to post.
Good for you MelH.,
Love your Sturdy determination. ?
I don’t know what algorithms are, but advise you to avoid them, cause Twitter gags you for having one.
MAGA on, my friend .
Our revolt against Uniparty has barely begun.
Ann ????
Twitter today began a file of UnsentTweets on my account. That’s new. But Jack dorsey i think is mentally ill and is kind of macabre to look at and daily seems to change his focus on who and what he will censor. It’s as if he is daring the President to charge him with crimes.
I’d rather post everywhere, “ Trump is still our President”. He is. He is fighting this as hard as he can. Who knew there were so many traitors amongst our fellow countrymen. They can only destroy, they can’t create anything good. They are filled with hate. Stay positive.
#Trump-stillourPresident
Add “Till January 2025”
!!!!!!!!
Caroline Glick explains it in detail to [fervently MAGA] Israelis:
Where America now stands
The urge Trump voters feel to protest the vote count is easy to understand. The widespread fear that the Democrats are working to falsify the US presidential election results grows with each news update.
https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/11/06/where-america-now-stands/
{snips}
“To be clear, Trump did not cause the crisis. It has two authors: The Democrats and the media.
“The Democrats’ fomented the crisis, which places America’s very future as a constitutional democracy on the line when they refused to accept the results of the 2016 election. The media caused it by abandoning journalism in favor of political activism.
“Political violence, like ballot harvesting, is a feature of the Democrats’ post-democratic political playbook. And here it is important to remember how things transpired in real-time.…
‘[T]he delegitimization of Trump and his voters morphed into a rejection of the rules of American democracy. All Democrat efforts to oust Trump from office and to block his ability to govern since, like the political violence the Democrats have employed with greater intensity in the intervening years, are a function of that move.…”
Are there signs which can be bought with this phrase? Let me know where I can get a couple. A few bumper stickers would be good, too.
Look upthread
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y
Hey, @JoeBiden
– here’s a lil reminder why there will be no Trump supporters willing to ‘give you a chance’ – a name: @GenFlynn
You were instrumental in setting up an innocent man for years of hell.
No one will forgive…no one will forget…
“Give Joe a Chain.”
Went out and bought all size and colors of post it note pads and pens. The kids got very creative with the messages they wrote on them.
I believe the UniParty will be very happy with the temporary Biden Presidency….. until he’s forced out by dementia.
The Republican grandees wanted Trump gone first and foremost, they can live with one of their club from the wink wink “other ” party.
Back to business as usual for the crony State.
President Trump should sell flags that say
“Trump won and we know it”
It could replace my Trump 2020 flag.
I would fly that flag above my car driving back and forth in front of the “organic Biden supporters” who spent the day on the busiest intersection in out area (no town so no town square here) waving and cheering for Biden. Not once was there ever such support for him. You’d think the election was still going on.?
Evidently, the stopthesteal.us (check out the site) protest in Atlanta was also countered with “organic Biden supporters” too, which also never once happened before the election. AJC online claims they took over the rally. Don’t know, had my little one and expected trouble, so didn’t go see for myself. This is lining up to be Iran’s color revolution part deux, enter the paid agitprop performers to support the Big Lie.
Post-it:
TRUMP WON
MSM has no say
Rubbish.
The count, with luck, will be invalidated by the Courts.
That’s all.
The Don hasn’t won yet.
BS like this doesn’t help.
Wow great news, that can only mean he hasn’t lost yet! Correct me if I’m wrong or if you believe this to be “rubbish'”. Luck=Law
He won.
The other morning I was hoping we could get a campaign going similar to IOTBW, but didn’t know what the simplistic message would be, perhaps “Election Fraud” I thought… but I like Sundance’s better.
You can’t make it pure MAGAesque because then the effect is lessened. You want to sow seeds of doubt to counter the psychological warfare being waged. People need to have some doubt. You have to fuel that.
“We all know Biden didn’t really win” (or similar) hits the subconscious in a way that would make Scott Adams proud. Or better wording might be “We all know Biden really lost” (the word win and Biden not together)
WE ALL KNOW BIDEN LOST.
Sticky idea:
Cackling Harris –
not president –
and never will be!
Sticky idea:
USSR knew Pravada was lying.
USA will know MSM does too.

Well the wife and I ,after church tonight,went to Winco[grocery store]here in Meridian,Id We are well known in the store.We walked in both with our President Trump hats on and no masks.We had people coming up and saying I like it,wanting to converse about the present situation, a group of boys ,school age, saying MAGA and one saying someday he would be President.We only found out about sticky notes when we got home.
My Idaho County went 75% Trump. I thought the Boise area went for Biden. Glad to hear there are patriots down south.
Post-Its now? Maybe 4 weeks from now.
Sounds a little defeatist to me today, though.
Right now Trump forces need raise the argument and SHOW the corruption.
It was difficult listening to Weds-talkshow-rehash this weekend from Rush, or Hannity
Clearly as the timeless Jethro Tull song suggests “It was a new day yesterday, but it’s an old day now”.
Everyone from Biden, Pat Toomey, the younger generations, & the media are essentially sitting behind the proverbial table in a park, with a sign stating “This election was basically OK -PROVE ME WRONG!”.
Passive-aggressiveness won’t move the needle enough.
“How to Help” guide:
First: The Democrats only win if we let them. Do not back down. Trump won the election on election night, and everything we’re seeing now is an attempted coup. Don’t let them get away with it. To help:
▪ Join the protests and rallies that are breaking out all over the country — people are organizing at https://www.stopthesteal.us People like Mike Cernovich, Brandon Straka (#WalkAway), Charlie Kirk, and many others are involved. Everyone in these contested states should be taking to the streets.
▪ Donate to Trump’s legal fund — https://secure.winred.com/djt/2020-standing-with-president-trump/
▪ Counter the media’s narrative. Do NOT let the media demoralize you. Speak the truth and expose their fraud. This is an attempted coup.
▪ Call out all defeatists. Some of them are concern trolls, trying to condition you into accepting Trump’s defeat. Do not let them do it. Call them out. Stay positive.
▪ Fight for Trump like he fights for you every day. FIGHT BACK!
If you have other ideas about how to help, or how to coordinate our efforts, then reply to me. We can always do more.

The Presidential election was STOLEN.
WHAT NEXT?
Some history of election fraud in Pennsylvania.
https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/search?state=PA
President’s tweet about a press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping then Corey Lewindowski’s tweet and press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping…..and the President goes golfing…..
Well, if this ever goes to a street fight, we got this. Most of Biden’s voter are dead. So it should be a piece of cake.
Remeber “the challenging?”
Sidewalk chalk is another way to get your point across.
ts so cute that all of these leftists think this is over. This aint over…
SCOTUS is going to toss this result, it will be determined that there
were two elections, and each one won of them. A new election needs to
be held that requires ID and voting in person (PERIOD), all observers
welcome and document the heck out of everything. Its the only way
out…
There should be one web address we can put on the post it notes that gives the facts in a concise way. Sundance, can you make such a site and let us know the URL?
Go to YouTube, look up Dr Steve Turley and the video, Why PA will win the election.
The SC of PA is trying to rewrite the Constitution.
The State Reps (all states) need to do their jobs and tell the Governor and the Sec of State to take a hike !
Stop the gaslighting. it takes 270 BUYden doesn’t have it and I’m sick of my phone getting burned up by terrified friends and family.
AS I’ve posted elsewhere, the -NOT- an accident CCP pandemic destroyed the factors which would have led to the nearly certain reelection of Trump.
One result was to make mail-in ballots more common, thereby allowing people too lazy to vote by going to the polls and the VERY people most likely to be MOST susceptible to MSM political bias to vote. Low Information Voters voted far more than they would have without voting by mail.
And, IMO, -THAT-, far more than fraud, is what is behind the election of senile criminal pervert. And -THAT- was an intended part of the -NOT- an accident CCP pandemic. Clever dragon.
What you should be doing instead of planting new lawn signs (give me a break) is:
CUT THEM OFF!
Now that the Dims proved what they can do with a non-campaigning, basement dwelling, accomplished nothing significant in his entire lifelong political, public sector leech career, but suddenly knows how to fix the problems he was involved in creating, increasingly senile, “Me, too” accused, hair-smelling, child-fondling, Ukraine and China-owned criminal with the help of the MSM, social media, and our national idiocracy, here is what conservatives and their under-18 children should do.
I’ve seen clueless calls for protests. The agents of our banana republic don’t actually care about peaceful protests no matter how large. They only care about one thing – MONEY.
Many have given their lives to protect what we have now obviously lost. You can do the following from your sofa! MAKE SURE that your minor children also follow these rules. Thanks to “our” now 100% certified SWAMP DO’J’, this is the only effective way you can send a message and in entirely LEGAL ways at that!:
1. DROP Twitter, Facebook, CCP’s Tik-tok, etc. LEAVE if a member the day senile criminal pervert is sworn in to make the reason obvious to them.
2. NO viewing of ANY program on ABC, NBC, CBS, or PBS, not even the local news, while being sure to let your local stations know this. Once again, notify them the day senile criminal pervert is sworn in.
3. NO viewing of ANY NBA, NFL, etc. event. Let them know why. Tell them to move to China for their audience.
4. NO purchase of ANY “Made in China” products unless they are absolutely NEEDED and there is no other source. This ESPECIALLY means no upgrading of still functional big ticket items like HDTVs, smart phones, laptops, etc. ONLY if they break.
5. NO support of Hollywood via moviegoing. Let your local movie theaters know why on the day senile criminal pervert is sworn in. Rent a DVD if you must or use legal FREE streaming whenever possible.
6. DROP Netflix and let them know why.
7. NO gift cards from Amazon for Christmas or any other time. Give pre-paid credit cards or personal checks.
8. AVOID if possible sending your child to ANY college that has Postmodernist/Cultural Marxist courses. Let them know why.
9. AVOID as much as legally possible the paying of taxes. Donate to reputable, tax deductible conservative organizations.
10. USE an ad blocker if and when using YouTube.
11. USE an alternative search engine like duckduckgo.com instead of Google.
12. Get out of any debt ASAP. AVOID any future debt.
13. SHUN and chastise anyone who does not follow the above.
The only thing multinationals and their agents care about is MONEY. Use that. IF you DO NOT do the above, then don’t even dare to whine to anyone, especially me.
You’re obviously surrounded and outnumbered by propagandized fools and I see that only getting worse now as time goes on. VOTE with your WALLET and, as a side benefit, save your money! This needs to be MASSIVE and it needs to HURT.
Stop -FEEDING- what we gripe about, what the bought and paid for Rep/Dim UniParty will never fix, and what has just caused what is effectively an election won or stolen by neo-Marxists and Chicom allies!
SPREAD THIS AROUND!
‘a non-campaigning, basement dwelling, accomplished nothing significant in his entire lifelong political, public sector leech career, but suddenly knows how to fix the problems he was involved in creating, increasingly senile, “Me, too” accused, hair-smelling, child-fondling, Ukraine and China-owned criminal with the help of the MSM, social media, and our national idiocracy…’
Nice work Winston!
IF everyone who writes these comments actually ‘donated $ and their physical labor’ to the Trump Campaign in their efforts to ‘Stop The Steal” and “Expose the Fraud” it would have much greater impact on THIS election than…post it notes
Agree. Post it notes is a piece of tape on a dyke break. It’s really not going to do anything except make you feel like you did something. I gave $$ and a lot of volunteer work. Like Trump, I do not want to leave anything on the table.
Call your media stations and tell them cheating is not winning
Trump is allowing his enemies to have their, ‘Jumping the Shark’ moment!
One question: How does American Idol count 150 million votes to find the American Idol winner during a commercial break?
Read elsewhere that if you have to cheat to win, you’re still a loser.
Biden did NOT win. #STOPTHESTEAL!
How about “Count every (LEGAL) vote….” ?
The GULAG Moral Outlook
Under the coming Communist Biden-Harris administration, many of us may be sent to “re-education” camps because of our conservative beliefs. From Archbishop Vigano’s letter he says: ” . . . the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention.”
This is exactly the same as the Soviet labor camps called the “GULAG.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn explained his “coping mechanism” while in the camps. Here are some
paraphrased excerpts from his book, GULAG Archipelago (Chapter “The Ascent”)
“For centuries it was considered that a criminal was given a sentence for precisely this purpose, to think about his crime for the whole period of his sentence, be conscience-stricken, repent, and gradually reform. But the Gulag Archipelago knows no pangs of conscience! Out of one hundred natives–five are thieves, and their transgressions are no reproach in their own eyes, but a mark of valor.
Can you imagine the desperation of a Red Army soldier that surrendered and become a POW in a hopeless situation? No, not only do you not repent, but your clean conscience, like a clear mountain lake, shines in your eyes.
It was in this nearly unanimous consciousness of our innocence that the main distinction arose between us and the hard labor prisoners of Dostoyevsky, and P. Yakubovich. There, they were conscious of being doomed renegades, whereas we were confidently aware that they could haul in any free person at all, in just the same way they had hauled us in, that barbed wire was only a nominal dividing line between us.
Just not to perish from the disaster! It had to be survived. Wasn’t this the root cause of the astounding rarity of camp suicides? Yes, rarity, although every ex-prisoner could in all probability recall a case of suicide. But he could recall even more escapes. There were certainly more escapes than suicides!
One’s own order to oneself, “Survive!,” is the natural splash of a living person. Who does not wish to survive? But simply “to survive” does not yet mean “at any price.” This means at the price of someone else.
And so it is with us the prisoners-if it is the result which counts, then it is also true that one must survive at any price. And what that means is: One must become a stool pigeon, betray one’s comrades. No one is going to argue. It is pleasant to win. But, not at the price of losing one’s human countenance. Results, or essence?
If it is the essence that counts, then the time has come to reconcile yourself to general work. (hard labor) Torn skin, smaller bread rations, and perhaps death.
But while you’re alive, you drag your way along proudly with an aching back. And that is when you cease to be afraid of threats, and are not chasing after rewards. You become the most dangerous character in the owl-like view of the bosses. Because, what hold do they have on you?”
Trump won. Stop doom porn.
How about, “Let the CR expire December 11”?
Keep thinking up new ones and posting them here as well.
Happy Warriors
Just posted it on snakebook…
