  8. So “Karen” was out of work for two weeks and it’s the end of the world? You can’t get unemployment unless you’re out of work much longer than that, I don’t understand these stupid ass people.

    Do you all realize that anybody working even if it’s at a fast food place trying to do the right thing will get screwed because they might get 1200 bucks. these asshats on unemployment will get 350 bucks minimum extra a month for how long? Eight months? In essence it pays to be unemployed because you will get more than twice as much as a single payment.

  11. Curious, is this draining the swamp or nah? What's the word Trumptards? Still behind that cult leader all the way? Tell us how he's such a good guy for forgoing the POTUS salary. Gonna go out on a limb and say someone in the Trump, Jared, Ivanka, Jr. orbit is charged long before any charges to Hunter or anyone else related to the Biden admin.

  14. 12:55 with the master deflection and swift move to whataboutism.

    Joe will never ever be connected to shenanigan's in China or elsewhere. But hey, keep calling him China Joe, whatever makes you feel better, no one cares.

    Your cult leader is grifting all you dumb fuckers and padding his bank account. Good chance he's going to face some ramifications for it and you'll still be on here extolling your "China" Joe bullshit.

  15. Can't wait for the imminent meltdown after the Hunter Biden investigation concludes and he isn't charged with shit. The Deep State wins again.

    But then again, who the fuck cares, Hunter ain't POTUS and he ain't working for the government while he lines his pockets ala Jared and Ivanka.
