If the old man wants caramel corn, the old man gets caramel corn.

He's about 100 in people-years, and he's been a trash panda the entire time, so why get weird about it now? 🤷🏼

I once requested that a giant anteater take the left fork in the trail, and it politely did so (I was eating my lunch on the ground in the middle of the right fork).

When in doubt, I always try to be courteous with wildlife. 😊

I'll take "Not What I Needed Before my 2nd Cup of Coffee this Morning" for $1000, Alex.

Good thing I still have those awesome Amazonian-rainy-season-mud skills. 😏

Some shots from my last day at the Gwinnett Fair!

🐑 I'm loving our new GA Sheep sign
🐑 The "Petting Zoo" was a hit once more this year, as was my Diversity in Ag shirt
🐑 Pixie wheel was such a champ & always a crowd favorite 🧶

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?

Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

Figured that some of y'all might need a dose of Emotional Support Lewis after this sh!tshow of a week.

And, yes -- he eats his daily noms out of a Publix bakery frosting bucket. We're fancy like that.

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.

I mean, it has been a while since I read the Bible, but I don't remember the part where Jesus says, "F*ck you. I got mine.". 🤷🏼
Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Here's the thing re: our system of gov't.

The president isn't above other branches.
He doesn't "own" the gov't or the nation.

Our constitutional system of checks & balances is to insure 1 person can't drag the nation to ruin

We the People get to weigh in thru Congress.

Except now. When we don't.
