Another victim of Democrat politicians.
He had dirt on the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, & Pelosi so they had him whacked. Wouldn't be the first time.

Oh here we go again with the social justice warrior crap. Skip this episode.
The Coronavirus has actually been a blessing. Another plague was needed for population control. It would be nice if the government would limit the number of brats people are allowed to birth.
Texas power outages are a result of electing Biden as an illegitimate president. Welcome to Bidens America people.

The history of Ambulances is pretty interesting
They are the victims of Pelosi.
When is White history month? Or Asian history month? Or Latino history month? Or Indian history month? etc. Funny these guys only focus on one group when it fits their liberal agenda.

Listening to the theory of empathy yawning, it now makes sense.
