And you were WRONG!!!
The same ones who Trump referred to as "my people" in his first term, are the same people he's turning his back on now since he no longer needs their votes.
I like this man's explanation. it sounds like a movie lol
Military leaders don't go to war, they tell others how to do that, the poor.

Geez buddy… I was making babies bro… sup to your sister for me…. Also dude if u can explain why Wednesday is crip walking dude…… I’ll take her to the hotel other than that dude ur not like us… I’m taking your poppa-well gifts back to macys u cheap bastard….
15 million fewer voters in 2024 tells you that the 2020 election was stolen those 15 million voters which took four days to call this election only existed on paper
I’m captured by his retelling, like sitting around a fire in the old times.
The attorney general (Barr/06) will run the show by 2025.
The timeline of "the beginning of the country" is off by thousands of years. Native American Indians inhabited this land long before the Europeans commit genocide on them. The government of the United States is based on genocide, not on religious beliefs or morals.
Bunch of Republican Thugs.
Illegal votes where used for Biden to win. Who the he'll in their right mind would want Biden to run this country? Just look at what that scumbag did to America.
Rump is a far right white nationalist is what he was trying to say without actually saying it…
This man is at very least a die hard Democrat.
"Ninetey-one Criminaly Charges" — your allegation is a LIE — there are only unsubstantiated irregularities…
This guy uses terms and phrases such as authoritarian, and republican thinks their psychiatrist..😂 democrats think men can get pregnant. And belong in women's sports and can't define what a woman is..this guy acts like he was the first one fired from the apprentice.😅😅😂 Trump has never had a racist bone in his body. He's also condemned the white nationalist..I remember his speech."I'm not talking about the white nationalist those people should be condemned totally* and Idk why you keep trying to act like the deep state didn't have an effective weapon against President Trump. Nobody wanted Biden. Nobody wanted Biden in his prime, much less in his default..the BLM riots the antifa riots. You leftist act like we can't remember what four years ago looked like..😂😂😂 it was lawlessness.. people died in places like Chaz..deep blue sanctuary cities..gimme a fkn break. This guy is a left leaning progressive Democratic spokesperson. It's pretty obvious he's had a career at cbs news.. everything he said is complete bullshit. Of course there was fraud in the 2020 election..
