Follow the money Sheeple... #FREEHONGKONG
Meanwhile BLM thugs and looters can run wild all over the city with impunity.
These Pandemic guidelines are too confusing for me to follow.
I'm still wondering what "roaches" had to do with black kids and Joke Bidens leg hair ?
Not in the Red State that I live in. We celebrate our fallen heros, unlike NYC.
totally agree with another comment who said Meanwhile BLM thugs and looters can run wild all over the city with impunity. Also look at Florida and Texas cases have dropped and there are no masks or lockdowns.
Those who died serving their country were suckers anyway, according to the new ideology coming from the right wing nuts.
"Enjoy the long weekend" Clueless VP Harris Tweet
It isn't just a long weekend It's also Memorial Day !
Don't forget why we have a long weekend!
Meanwhile the Indianapolis 500 is going to have 130k people in attendance for it. And we have more people vaccinated here than most other places in this country and yet, they STILL have to disrespect our fallen men and women who DIED for this country's BULLSHIT. This is all a scheme made for by the idiot "woke" people who don't want to salute our flag and kneel when the national athem is being sung. I bet you they will allow the Puerto rican day parade and the pride parades to go on! If they don't cancel those, then you know this was all just a scam by the new york government. I love how you all love American money but don't love America itself and thats a fucking shame! This city sucks! Ill say it to you all since the idiot "woke" crowd will never say it to you...."GOD BLESS AMERICA" and GOD BLESS all of the men and women who serve (still) and died for our nations freedoms!
Right on Brother !
"GOD BLESS AMERICA" and GOD BLESS all of the men and women who serve (still) and died for our nations freedoms!"

Trump broke people's brains he comes up on almost every post here !
Some people hate Trump and Conservatives More than they love to hear the Truth !
“Conservatives”, we’ll that’s a joke. What are you trying to conserve? The environment? Your fat ass?
The hypocrisy is hypnotic, the wokeness is wondrous, and the leaders are loony. The Democrats summed up in a sentence.
“Conservatives” Hell Yeah !
