Justin Jones

I would be curious to hear Charlie Kirk again to see if his thoughts have changed. Otherwise, he's just as annoying as JD Vance.
Philip Lang
how ironic to hear Dr Phil talking about bullying. The biggest a****** bully man in our country is the President. IMO, Dr Phil is an arrogant man who loves to pontificate about everything. Why doesn't he pontificate for truth and kindness.The right wing doesn't support diversity inclusion or equity. what's that about?
