Good afternoon

bestillanlisten Asking for my black friends? Did he literally “axe” them or did he “ask” them a question. Ebonics and what not?

Looks like the talk with Putin put the Russian bots on the twitter market.

Conspiracy theory?

I can see why the media is in full meltdown mode regarding the layoffs at Twitter - those that silenced conservative voices many of them are gone.

Do you have proof to support your obnoxious claims?

Great spin B I. Such garbage

Somehow they overlooked Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano so they weren't very good at their jobs.

They should all be in jail not only axed!

Just make your own social media platform!

Business insider run by the CCP!

Nice try. With every hit piece you guys continue to prove yourselves as the enemy of the people.

Elon Musk fired biased staff that suppressed factual info.

The man is 🤪

Your attacks on Musk are pathetic.. unfollowing you.

This is turning to shit very quickly

Chimney sweep starts setting up the same pattern of distract with test concept, dull to likely hood, then strike with their own influences to follow up with legal claims against their own actions with props in the way....

There are politicians looking to get verified 4 days before the election?
