YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING CANDY

Candy You can have everything from 5starcookies
Candy You can have everything from 5starcookies

Hello Mr. President,

Remember when Marilyn Monroe was singing to the president Kennedy:”Happy birthday Mr. President.”

Do you remember her sexy voice full of promises traveling through the air, touching genitals of so many horny people.

People like Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein and so on…

Do you see how quickly I connected today issue with our past!

Why?

Because it is so easy. Women were always objectified by large crowds.

Always!

“Always” as forever. And if you know women they do like to dream about that “forever”.

White fences, dogs and children.

Dreamy life in which the real reality can’t be accessed.

And why would we? Just ask Jacqueline Lee Kennedy?

How did she fell when Marilyn was singing “Happy Birthday Mr. President”?

So, I am wondering, past – present – future! Does it matter?

Can women build their own white fences and be happy?

I don’t know about that but what I do know is the following:

Happy Wall Mr. President! Let’s build it.

It’s happening baking, sweet nation. We are building the wall.

Big, beautiful and ours. (keep reading…)
