Fuck you very much, ICE. ✊ What's your plan when this is over? TFG has immunity; the SCoTUS said so. You? Not so much. Good luck.

RFK Jr. highly recommend this government-backed cure-all remedy. It doesn't say so in the ad, but it was what killed the worm in his brain. (Though, apparently, it also killed a lot of his brain.)

Are there any references for this claim? There are quotes allegedly from the company but no indication whether they're in a press release, or from a company spokesperson, etc.

There will not be a whiter hot hatred for TFG than mine, but I am not inclined to believe anything in this story.

The military must have been trolling Generalissimo Bone Spur by playing CCR's "Fortunate Son" and having the soldiers marching out of step instead of with the discipline of the Russian and North Korean parades. 🤔

I would have, if a pathetic draft dodger called me "loser" and "sucker". 🤪
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.
