Welcome to the Soviet Union.
I can’t believe that they elected that knucklehead commie bus driver over the moderate candidate.
Oh, wait! Yes, I can!
You should. Maybe we’ll get some of our redistributed oil money back.
Beats throwing shoes!
If there’s an EMP event, you can throw out the computer stuff.
Well, at least you gave me a vision of what is possible.
I have 5 cases of 3 x 12” pillar candles. That’s about all that’ll work.
