@OneBadDude_ Of course, they could always learn to code...😉🤣

🎤😬 Ouch. Fetterman never was anything more than a liberal, though

@Rothmus For all the people that keep trying to promote fetterman as some kind of republican? Here you go. This is what I've been saying. The stroke might have helped him see things more clearly in some ways; but he's still the same liberal, with the same liberal viewpoints...

@nicksortor They are really yuge...

@Justus4mykidz @charliekirk11 Amen

@leehyaeri @TheFigen_ Well, according to your bio, you're in Los Angeles. Los Angeles doesn't see anything like the climate we have here. And I really hope you can get that city cleaned up and fixed from the damage done to it, by the Democratic regime that's controlled it for the past three decades...

@leehyaeri @TheFigen_ No, I don't do dm. Ever. Matter of fact? If I follow somebody and they DM me, I unfollow them. I'm very happily married; not about to do anything that could potentially mess that up. Ever.

@hartgoat And this

@hartgoat Need to get all the names changed back to what the originally were, and the statues put back up as well. The woke 💩 needs to be undone. These names were given to facilities and statues erected to honor these people; they deserve to be honored. Judge them by their time; not ours.

@TRHLofficial It's really hilarious how little these people know about our nation's history. They keep quoting 'founding fathers' like they actually studied them; and have any idea of how they really thought. They would be absolutely shocked. It was a very religious, moral time. Brilliant men.

@leehyaeri @TheFigen_ It's true. I live in michigan, and that's a common sight. I'm kind of rural; so see a lot of similar sights, actually. We have snow (potentially) for approximately 6 months out of the year. Sometimes heavy, sometimes not.

@Circular_Truth @TracyBannon2 @aTeXan575 You are a dipshit. You're annoying. You have no followers, which tells me nobody else wants to listen to you either. So you know what? My post. I get to block you. Bye!

@Johnny_Joey Don't worry Johnny; the left just doesn't recognize talent. They're always concerned about race, gender, other immutable conditions of humanity. Never ability. You have ability. Oh, by the way? Thanks for your service sir.

@KathleenWinche3 Here you go Kathleen

@JackPosobiec Kumbaya moments, incense and love beads. This is what they think about. Communist ideology. Idiots. communism doesn't work

@TRHLofficial @hartgoat Reposting this for you, red; I can only speak for myself, but I would say so. The one on the right doesn't look interesting to me at all. Looks really fake. Looks like a shallow, self-centered woman. But I'm just a blue collar worker; I like my women to be down to earth.

@KathleenWinche3 I'll give you a fun one back, as well as a 'like' though. I'm a good thief; I trade.😉
