People really do that. Travel around the country and camp out at new Chic-fellas (my nickname). Mostly seniors. They get freebies and different promotional stuff.

Hope he fails, but this is the kind of junk that attracts ignorant white wingers.

I guess they don't work, either?

There's an 80% chance of thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Will these schmucks lose their spots in line when they run for shelter. Because, you know damn well they're not going to stay out in the rain.

at the amount of diversity in those photos! Kidding. Same old tired racists. Old white people, Tuffy Tufferson 30 something coal rolling white guy with a goatee, and bigoted white small business owner who doesn't want to sell wedding cakes to gay people.

And they probably all smell like wet dogs with a soupçon of BO.
