After trading the merchant of death for a sub par WNBA player I’m not so surprised in his bad deal making

[billylongmont]

So they get prisoners and money? This guy's deal making abilities are embarrassing.

I'm sure that $6 billion will be used for a noble cause.

The Ashley Biden diary is the most recent example of a blanket media blackout, a July 2019 excerpt going viral two weeks ago. Read this and defend it as non-newsworthy:
“Was I molested, ” the author writes. “I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate).” Alexandra Tara Reade, , Vail Kohnert-Yount, , Sofie Karasek, , Ally Coll, , Caitlyn Caruso, , D.J. Hill, , Amy Lappos, , Lucy Flores, , meet the eight woman who no voice since they came out against Biden!! imagine working on 911 to brooker a deal with Iran!!!! seems memory loss is only second to moral

[AngeloCelestine]

$6 Billion!! For (5) people??? Who are they really?🤔 The first (3) appear to be Non-American ( i.e. foreign name(s), British Citizenship, etc....) Then, the other (2) refused to be named. 😒 I've got a few questions. (IJS) 🤷🏾‍♂️ That kind of coin could've easily eradicated the issue of homelessness here in the US; amongst other things.

[thatsharshman.]

SO what you're saying is now we are funding both sides of the Ukraine war.

[SME]

How can I troll America today ?? I know let’s strike a deal with Iran, its 9/11 after all 😅

[silverwolf]
