honestly, I donโt care which one we keep just stick with one. It does get a bit dark in Maine at this time of year so maybe itโs better to stay on daylight savings town year-round.

22.11.2025 01:53 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I guess my feeling is that the things he is campaigning on are things I totally agree with and I believe he sincerely believes in too. Also, many of us have done stupid things when we were younger and have learned from them.
I donโt, for instance think he is in any way similar to Fetterman.
