I did this a week or so back. It was a flashback to my first 2 years in tattooing when I worked in a shop in a more hispanic part of town. We did at least one #prayinghandstattoo daily.

Seriously what is the point. I want to know how much I will be saving when I make large purchases like appliances, windows and insulation. I don’t trust manufacturers to be honest, just look at auto MPG and HP ratings. A neutral agency makes sense. #FDT #FucktheGOP #WeDontMatter

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.
