I just hope it's not a dirge!

As a Jacksonville resident who is at high risk, I'm glad she's calling out the mass-homicidal decision to bring the cowardly traitor and his ilk here. When this catastrophic decision was announced, I thought about getting the hell out of town that week, but then I realized that the really big impact will occur 2-3 weeks after that slow-motion Jonestown massacre. Not to mention it'll be at the peak of hurricane season. I'll bet you half a peach that the traitor -- along with governor Ron DeRacist -- will persuade mayor Lemon Curry to lift that mask requirement by then.



Thanks for posting these.
