Asked directly about Mr. Trump’s comments on Truth Social, Leo said: “It’s ironic — the name of the site itself. Say no more.” (gift article)

Okay yet another *very specific* request for recs. I’ve had two of these bags over the years and I love it BUT my right shoulder is my bad one and the bag isn’t helping.

A flurry of followers....thank you very much!
These videos are only made for fun, there's no gain, just to try and make people smile during these unsettling times.
I invite you to put the needle on the record and head back in time for some top toys...
