FOR SALE: Joe’s autopen
President Puddingbrain is spreading insane lies that Biden was executed and replaced by a robot.
What the fuck are we doing here?
How did my pudding taste last night?
Socialists never go away,they just find another way to screw you over. When will this loser just relocate to Sacramento so Daddy can find him a State paying job and leave us alone.
Here at CCWD he can grope women and nothing becomes of it.
Isn’t CCWD needing a new multimillion office building?
I’ll vote FOR that, Jack
Jeez, you people need to get serious about things happening to us. Can you believe after spending $1,400,000,000….that’s ONE BILLION, FOUR HUNDRED MILLION $$$ DOLLARS we lost the Presidential Election? That’s after the Legacy Media said we were going to win, where they said President Joe Biden was running circles around his aides, tiring them out.
Then all of a sudden Joe was out and Kamala was in, and she spent
$$$1,400,000,000 in less than 4 months and we lost the Presidential election, the House AND the Senate.. along with Millions of democrat voters.
Next thing you know, the people with a brain will know that we are as dumb and ignorant as we appear.
Isn’t that a shame!
