General Discussion

I am here in mid-state A99uburn. I can't believe the "Fuck Janet Mills" bumper stickers I see while driving around. It I usually a badly rusted out car or pickup truck. With a "Pray for Jeebuzz trDUMP" slapped on the vehicle too.

If the upstate red neck hyper masculine hunter/lumberjacking he men find out the political ideology of Graham Platner. Then realizep his being buddy buddy with both Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren from the socialist demon state of Massachusetts they might not be so forthcoming with their MAGA red hat vote for Platner.
