  • No one cares about your politics 💯

    Why are you commenting on the Minnesota nonsense? Did you say anything when American citizens are being killed by Illegals? Stop it already. Your “Suicidal Empathy” & “White Guilt” got these Yo Yo’s being brainwashed into stepping to Law Enforcement while they’re doing their job.

    If you protest and DON’T INTERFERE you make it home to watch the NBA with your family. Guess that’s not happening now is it?
