'Buffalo Fluffalo' has had enuffalo in this kids' bookalo 'Buffalo Fluffalo' may seem big and intimidating, but it's all puffery. He really just needs some snuggalos from his friends in this rhyming book from author Bess Kalb and illustrator Erin Kraan.

Listen, buy a copy for anyone you love.
Listen, Listen, Listen... Me still giggling.

As a Cold War β€œduck and cover in the hallway child” there is no β€œsurvive for a year”. Carl Sagan... nuclear winter. My archery teacher was one in Nevada trenches. I did geology for the AEC and ERDA. A senior geologist measured fall out from the second floor window SLC and pegged the instrument.🀯🀬.

The now demolished ball room was not tiny. In trumps first four years how many full capacity events were hosted at the WH to justify expansion.

AW you are polite: IANAL so I see Epstein stuff as a window into a giant global RICO. Blackmail, money laundering, illegal prostitution (minors). Real estate swindlers tax evasion.
Compromising stuff wealth and NDAs.

Who ever opened the barn door seems intent on burning the barn down now that a horse is out. A pedantic adds stables, cows, goats, hay in the hayloft.
A working farm has lots of stuff. Keep the fox from the chickens, rats and mice so many cats and dogs.

Others have noted that Trump prefers to carry out his surprise military attacks on weekends so that they don’t spook the stock market.

In a debate, an assertion that a benovelent dictator is the most efficient form of government, the other side notes that power corrupts absolutely and a kleptocrat is a thief at heart.

Part of the crazy stuff includes putting a very health challenged but jucky RFK Jr in charge of health noting Kafka died ~40 of Tuberculous.
Then the story of Dorithy and the wizard of Oz a fraud behind the curtain, yes a puppy in a window ...

Yes I have come to the conclusion that donOld's ICE agents in Minnesora slipping sliding falling on their ass murdering innocent people portends Kafkaesque crazy stuff that challenges our karma here and judgement hereafter.

I just learned that there was a memo on how to use Bacon Flavor on Epstein documents for bring your dog or goat to work days. Example this memo. The bacon fat rich product works exceptionally well for burn bag contents. It could be a late night news joke segment but is too believable to fact βœ”οΈβ˜‘οΈ
