Hopefully, he will get the sentence he deserves.

Apparently one of Trump's tough guys. Giggle...

The incredible stupidity of these QAnon folks. Just BREATHTAKING!

If that is considered terrorism then I cannot wait to see what I am dealing with is called... 🧐🕵️‍♂️

Did he run his vehicle at a bunch of people registering voters in a parking lot? Attack people with a cane sword? Punch a man in the face on his birthday? No, those were 3 violent attacks on Trump supporters this week that ABC failed to make national news stories.

Twice tweeted this but where is the coverage of Antifa running his van into Trump supporters or the Bernie bro burning down GOP offfice or lady punching a retired cop for wearing a red hat or the Bernie bro that attacked a 15 yr old girl ALL Happened this week alone!

I don't think anyone who actually clearly looks at what the president does & what motivates him need a, shadow figure, deep in the government handing out secrete bread crumbs. If he's handing out secrete Vomit bags, cause a close look at gov. will make you sick, OK.

Of course he did.

Party of Stupid

Let me guess, no job or no girlfriend?

The Qanon thinks drinking bleach cures the CoronavirusOutbreak. Shhhh don’t tell them. Darwin.

Maybe research Qanon and decide for yourself.

Why M4A is vital so these people can receive medical care.
