So the writer for National Review who thinks politics shouldn't be the deciding factor in personal relationships has his liberal date walk out on him after finding out what he does. This is such an obvious example of the pervasive intolerance of the left.
So "June" says her husband has no friends and he depends on her to digest the news and tell him what's happening. in addition she says his bathroom routine resembles that of a sixteen year old girl. It's a good thing this balanced segment is so believable.
Hey libs: First woman elected to Congress? Republican First woman on the Supreme Court? Republican. First woman going to be Chief of Staff? Republican. (Congratulations, Susie Wiles!) Which party can define a woman? Republicans. Which party wants to keep men out of women's sports? Republicans.
How dare Kamala Harris be the presidential candidate?? Trump won by a landslide. That's justice. Wake up! What a podcast that openly supports Kamala Harris! Shame on you!
Notice how nobody is calling President Trump" a threat to democracy" anymore? Makes you wonder how much of that was sincere and how much was just politics.
"Keep in mind that everyone except a tiny ultra- elite were depending on a Red win last night, even if ~half the country doesn't know it. Rank and file Democrats have no idea what they have partnered with, or where it leads. Congratulations to everyone who loves the Republic and wants it to survive." - Dr. Brett Weinstein
Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So let's sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again!
2 Thousand Mules was absolutely real.
Remember, patriots..they let Joe Biden off the ballot but not Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It's a desperate attempt by liberals to make you vote for Kennedy thinking he's still running and not President Trump. DO NOT VOTE FOR KENNEDY - HE IS NOT RUNNING!! In fact, he has ENDORSED President Trump and President Trump is going to appoint Robert Kennedy to his cabinet!
