The Horse @TheHorse (223305) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Feb

Hatred is Weak

celticeagle @celticeagle (171437) • Boise, Idaho 2 Feb

So much for Trump's tariffs

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121384) • United States 3 Feb

Mr. Tough Guy threatened 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada because. . . he is dumb. He doesn't understand how they work and has said for years that other countries pay the tariffs. That of course is not how it works but no one has...

Listening to Mozart's Requiem!

The Horse @TheHorse (223305) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Jan

celticeagle @celticeagle (171437) • Boise, Idaho 3 Jan
