What's Fortnite? - Lady Gaga

What’s fortnight

— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) October 15, 2019

Democratic Presidential Debate in Columbus

It was quite dissappointing that the most important topic for Ohio voters wasn't even brought up during the three-hour debate in Columbus, Ohio last night. How would you fix the Browns? I am sure the Shackers posting to our massive daily Trump Dump Chatty thread have some opinions on the debate. (Login and turn on political filters to see that mega thread)
