Doujins when?

TYBNewsAnon2.0

So let me get this straight…..Pence spent over $200k of tax payers money to fly out to an NFL game only to leave, at Trump's request, before the game started because some players knelt during the national anthem?

yes

Would that $200k reappear had he stayed?

This kills the incel.

this is the brize of freedom :DDD

She's got bigger balls than me tbh.

Boomers only complain about tax money when there's a liberal in office, they would be doing the exact same thing trump is doing if they were in his position. Trump started watching Fox News in order to learn how to con Fox News grandpas and campus conservatives, in doing so he stared at the abyss so long he became a Fox News grandpa. If this is the end of humanity it's deeply poetic.

This might explain the blood diamond scandal she was involved in years ago.

I have words for how I feel about this but I don't want to be thrown into an unmarked van.


fair enough lol. I'm more upset they tried to claim this was anything besides a PR stunt. 200k to walk in and walk out because apparently Trump's numerous tweets on the topic just weren't enough.

DOGT BLES MERICA XDDDDDDDD d

3D pottery class.

Kinda pathetic of Pence.

took both of them long enough

nasrallah's a smart guy and doesn't throw words around. he probably got news that confirmed what he already knew

Kim is so nice! Helping to break the glass ceiling in the DPKR :)

That's not the only ceiling Kim broke

Who do you reckon will be the next in Trump's government to resign?

Looks like SJWs found a new male ally!

The total elimination of community and the isolation of man is nearly complete. Porky will have a brand new market by commodifying human relationships.
