Hush, Tucker!
Desantis’ people should keep their fire directed at Democrats. When they attack Trump, I can’t tell the difference between them and the Biden administration. So, there is no way on gods green earth I can vote for them if they look and act just like Joe Biden.
Had a lady wanting me to sign this petition but when I asked what, exactly, was ‘fetal viability, she didn’t know.
Hey Christina Pushaw, how about stop worrying about Trump and just worry about DeSantis’ Platform and keep him on Point. He doesn’t have a chance against Trump, it’s Haley he needs to worry about.
