Too bad for such extinguished personality

When you have absolutely nothing else ...makeup lies to divide the country

Unlock her up!

Madea got arrested?

Leave her ass in jail about a month, that’ll stop this bs.

And just like the Capital protesters she should receive the max sentence and if found guilty, removed from office. Just as all Capital protesters should receive the same. Justice served both ways.

She’s not being paid to riot do your job or get out

Insurrection

Are you fvcking kidding me? But the sixth was kosher?

Horrible the rrrrrrregime!! in cuba, enough is enough, it is time for 'freedom and democracy'. but don't worry, biden is coming to the rescue. SOSCuba SOSCubaLibre

Did she ransack congressional offices or nah?

So these are insurrectionist then right They attempted to interrupt a constitutionally mandated process (every day of congress 😭). AOC I bet you weren’t scared of them though huh. That racist cop got a handle on this one 🙌 woah that was close…..

Save some of that self-righteousness for the arrest of all the insurrectionist, Greene, Bobert. Cawley, Gaetz, Hawley.

Damn, the double standard is sick making.

”No more rehearsing and nursing a part We know every part by heart Overture, curtains, lights This is it, you’ll hit the heights And oh what heights we’ll hit On with the show this is it.”

Form a committee! Impeach Biden! Flags at half mast! 🤡

Time to arrest the GOPSeditiousTraitors and the child sex traffickers like Matt Gaetz
