Republicans just create more rage bait to distract and exhaust the Democrats, and it barely even makes the news. Americans have for the most part just come to accept that Donald Trump is going to do whatever the fuck he wants until 2029 or he drops dead. - |

rank | Thu May 07 23:20:27 Yes let's put the names of our guys in the news so that all the rabid leftists/sebs/antisemites can dox and attack their families. Good call. As for the fighting, I am sorry your sources are so slow. |
