I won't be posting as much on DU due to the Trump Administration recommendations. [View all]

Last edited Fri Mar 7, 2025, 06:14 PM - Edit history (2)

Due to the new tariffs, I'm taking the White House Press Secretary's advice and raise chickens in my back yard and also a cow. Plus, I must now grow my own timber, plant avocado trees, make my own tequila, build my own car...etc. I’m just too busy!
