If You Sent Your Crush the Wrong Quad Pics…I Am Here to Help.
So you made a little mistake. Well… maybe a big little mistake. Well…maybe a really big little mistake. You sent your crush the wrong quad pics . Before you start going into anaphylactic shock, I just want to let you know that there’s no need to worry. I’ve made this mistake many times. Probably as many times as you can count on three hands and one finger. Some call me an expert in this field.

The 2020 Election Explained in Three Charts
