I recently started to re-embrace English football and my beloved Arsenal for the first time since Covid. I had completely stopped watching because of what cunts all pro sports organizations were regarding Covid and vaccines. But yous twos disrespect of @npub16djxdyd6t… has me questioning myself. An American badass like our boy @npub1luwkteu2e… would never disrespect such a hard working man like Jordan. Fucking Brits!!!🖕🖕🖕🔫🔫🔫🇺🇸➕🇨🇦🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

I used to drink a lot years ago. Then I was sober for a while and not sleeping much, so then I started smoking a ton of weed. But recently I cut down a lot to try to save my lungs 😂. There’s nothing wrong with munchies, you just need to stock up on healthy snacks like beef jerky, trail mix and fruits. Weed and 🍄are the key to sanity and prosperity of the soul!

Deficit still going up. Interest expense on debt still going up. Yields still high. Rolling over trillions of debt on higher yields. M2 still going up. You can’t out-MAGA math! Stack sats!
