Peoppe that are unhinged enough to do this should be put on some kind of FBI watchlist

And I'm not even making a statement against the rightwingers per sey (let's be real though, it's like 90% crazy right wing people) even if it's left wing type stuff, it's still super unsettling and a pretty unhinged to tape a bunch of poorly made signs all over your car and drive around like that forevermore

Do you think he replaces them soon? They're lookin pretty ratty....or does he just keep adding more tape to them until they disintegrate?

The original Raphael action figure was the first toy I ever bought with my own money. I was in second grade and a cool third grader had all four on the playground. I asked how much and he told me “$3.99”.

I saved my money for weeks and when I had $3.99 I asked my mom if she could drive me to K-Mart. I grabbed Raph and we headed to the checkout.

The cashier rang him up, and announced “$4.23” after tax. All I had was $3.99. I started to cry. Thankfully my mom was nice enough to cover my shortage, however it took a few minutes for me to hear as I was so upset.
