@Patrickwebb Some of you really believe anything you read. Have you even heard of Just The News before? I haven’t. 😂😂😂😂

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@jackunheard I just confirmed that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real. 😂😂😂😂

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@Trump47News More market manipulation? Cool.

@mattvanswol Ummm actually the great orange trust fund baby did nothing for the people in that tragedy. When will you people start telling the truth? *rhetorical question*

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@RepNancyMace They already do, unless you’re talking about the Russian bots and the South African weirdo that helped the Trust Fund baby win.

@kevin_smith45 Keep selling your lies about political violence. Only sheep believe you… And the difference is we have a reason to hate the current p*do in chief. With Biden, you all just cried because you thought someone was getting something you didn’t.

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@GuyRCosta1 @GavinNewsom Except the trust fund baby committed actual criminal offenses. You MAGAt cult members just won’t admit it. Don’t worry, though. Everything will come out and you all will have to find new ways to excuse the grifter in chief’s corruption.

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@ColdwaterHunt @krassenstein The JPOA kept them from enriching to weapon grade and required Iran to allow inspectors in. It complied with both until the pedo in chief ripped up the deal. So what point are you actually making?

[Ron Counts @RontheScribe]

@mascio45506 @krassenstein LOL. $300 million funds a lot of terrorism.

[Hawaii Athletics @HawaiiAthletics]

Hawai‘i Athletics is thrilled to announce a $5 million commitment over the next five years to support NIL opportunities for our student-athletes!
