And Donald Trump posting:
Looking forward to seeing their posts on Valentine’s Day with Biden posting “Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life. My dear wife, Jill” and Trump posting “Happy Valentine’s Day to Melania. Even the various women pretending to be her at press conferences. Love is whatever I pay for it to be.”

Researchers have discovered what they say is the "oldest firearm" ever found within the continental United States, describing the artifact as a "priceless" specimen — due to the haunted, cold, dead, second amendment hands refusing to let go of it.

It took me about halfway down the article before I realized that "honey packs" are most definitely *not* what you get at a diner.
OMG, I laughed and cried at the same time for the Biden/Trump jokes. Loved the Mixed Thanksgiving Messaging (Thanks for calling it Thursday) - now I'm imagining at this left over turkey in a different light. The Oldest American Firearm gave me a chuckle as did The Last Meatpacker.
