This story is about to become really interesting

This Guy

Why!

Isn’t he in jail? No kidding he isn’t returning

I thought the show was canceled.

Thought they canceled that shit ?

This is news? They said this after the sham in Chicago.

I just don't care about this idiot

You think?

I thought we already knew this?

If he wanted to commit crimes with complete impunity, he should have become President. For the rest of us, there are still consequences to our actions. The rich and connected, just have less consequences than the rest of us. He clearly should have faced criminal charges.

Good.

THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!
