1. Right 🙄

2. Joking? Jokes are funny. That isn't funny and neither are any of you gasbags.

DJT wouldn't know facetious if it bit him on his massive ass.

One has to have a SENSE OF HUMOR to be funny and he has NEVER had one in his whole miserable life.

5. I keep waiting for snakes and lizards to come out of her mouth.

8. Fuck the Fucking Bloated Nazi PEDO.
