    1. Republicans are cool bad boys. The dems just have an elderly Jim crow guy with dementia as president. And he doesn’t even have any supporters. The Dem party is jumping off the sinking Biden ship lol

    1. @Ayisha Taylor RepubliKKKlans, the Actual, FACTUAL Groomers… if they aren’t Projecting, they are accusing, which in turn is their way of CONfessing…. and the GUN thing… well, they always intend to KILL… reich RepunliKKKlans?

    2. @Idont Care  they barely got the House. And statistically, they should had got all of congress. Also, they did sneaky shyt to stuff the Supreme Court. Like deny a president to elect a justice during his term.

    2. @Juicy Smooliet’s Subway Sammich I actually meant Chicano style. Mexicans do cartel type stuff, not drive bys

  1. My question here, did anyone look at his last. Put all of the partisan crap aside for a second. Does anyone know why he was an ex-con. NYpost is reporting that he was once incarcerated.

    1. Its just a little politician who was starting his career. The same thing happened in las vegas, but the it was the other way around. The democrat killed the republican. But of course you’re not going to hear about it in the news. It’s okay when democrats do it only.
