“Let’s pretend this is a new article!”
Which one is the official H&R election chat room? Polls closed in Georgia. Donnie already claimed election fraud.
Drunk yet, you retarded faggot?
Eat shit, homo.
One of your MAGA cousins has phoned in bomb threats to majority black polls and churches in DeKalb. It will get nasty. Violence is not the answer, you Peanut.
Are you getting scared, you retarded faggot? Maybe you should drink more.
Homo? You’re the one who sodomizes young boys.
These hoaxes usually end up being democrats.
Also ironic you make the claim of fraud right after attacking Trump for it.
What about comment section fraud? Did someone steal your original account? Oh that’s right, it got banned after you posted links to child pornography.
I’ll take stuff that didn’t actually happen for $500 Alex.
You'd be more comfortable with Dick Cheney at the "White Dudes for Harris" jamboree.
Easy, it's you evil retarded globalhomo sub human faggot nigger cancers VS Americans. And we Americans now know for a fact that none of you can be trusted.
Need to get rid of them so we never have to worry about Marxist democrats ever again.
Glad moderate Liz highlighted Seltzer and Iowa. She was only off by 14 points. Good work Seltzer.
Reason's awfully quiet tonight.
This viewpoint destoys its own foundation. Actually, my neighbors, friends, co-workers are sick of the political angle. Kamala detestably using my hard-won money for her campaign to give $500, 000 to Al Sharpton. And Biden --- as PBS reports : "How billions in COVID-19 pandemic relief aid was stolen or wasted"
Greedy hateful insensitive bastards on all sides.
