THIS malaise Jul 2024 #18

Yes! Mossfern Jul 2024 #43

Convicted treasonous felon MF45 hasn't acknowleged the other victims yet, so FoxNewsSucks Jul 2024 #51

He was on the ground long enough for his weasel brain to reflexively ask how can this benefit me? 58Sunliner Jul 2024 #36

Too late. Everyone on social media is passing this photo around. Imagery is strong. Pisces Jul 2024 #9

The imagery demonstrates he's a careless idiot, mzmolly Jul 2024 #17
