Maria Machado's response to winning:

“Oh my god, I have no words. I am just one person. I certainly do not deserve this" it's "the achievement of a whole society"

If Trump got the call:

About fucking time. I alone ended 8 wars, more than anyone in the history of the world.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

By having their own halftime show and choosing who will perform,Turning Point USA (TP) is showing support for the Super Bowl halftime show.

TP choosing who will perform in their halftime show supports the Super Bowl’s right to choose who will perform at their show.

Thank TP for supporting woke.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️
