Functional Government is Too Woke.

Blacks,Hispanics, People of different Faiths or Beliefs "Might" get Benefits or Assistance.

This MUST BE PREVENTED by ANY Means.

Even if Mainstream White people
Have to do without, or Pay far more for Services.

Government MUST Persecute the Correct People even if it Hurts everyone.

That's the Creed Of MAGA....

ALL Public Assistance is Fraud and Abuse.

The Wealthy must be Tax Exempt....

THEY CREATE JOBS!!!

They ate his toenails?

A guru is only a guru if you say he is.

She gave him authority over herself.

Weird stuff. But all cults are.

I was talking about the Dem primary. More people supported her than the clown the DNC shoved out there when Biden ---- the bed at the debate.

" ... . all those years."

Has Dullsi Gasbag resigned her membership in her former cult since joining her new MAGA cult? Or is she bi-cult-ural now?

The only reason the clown club doesn't want her anymore is because she left the party. The idiots were just fine with her and her cultish behavior as long as she stayed on the reservation.

Cultsi just found herself another cult and another cult leader. Dr. Jesus is her second guru.

Do they breathe any oxygen where you are? How long are the nights? What about the days? Are there seasons? How many? What are they called? How much does an Earth pound weigh there? Does light bend?

So may, many questions.

#16 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis

just go ahead and admit that you want all of the proof about the mass murderer to end

up in the same place the evidence about J6 was put....furnace / shredder / up pelosi's but ...

so you and the other despicable lying sheep will still be able to lie.

There is no better word to describe maga than CULT so I'll keep using it.

Sorry about saying pedophile. We don't actually know he was into fucking little kids, but we know he was into fucking underage teens, so as megan kelly clarified- he's just a hebophile, not pedophile.

Does that make you feel better about supporting him while he starts wars to distract from the epstein files?

I actually have zero idea what you're babbling about. I will try in future not to make too much fun of you, mainly because it's too bad you don't have anyone around you who's bothering with wellness checking. And that really is a shame.
