[@elcid4593]

this band is awesome but I'm getting the vibe that there Hillary voters. I don't know

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

Ya think? Of course they are... they're not idiots.

[@aslyswine]

Jerome amato People sometimes needs more time to understand what is actually happening. It is unfortunate because we don't have much time to understand the effects of corporatists supporting fracking, including the beloved Hillary. But it is ONLY Trump...

[@aslyswine]

and the RUSSIANS! Lmao

[@dannyrodriguez8143]

Your improper use of the word "there" is giving the vibe you're a Trump supporter. Black Angels def lean Democrat as proven by their support of Beto O'Rourke. Hope your vote for the right is serving you well, if not, take a look at who is actually speaking and doing for you and your peeps vs cheap worthless dialogue then screwing you after you vote for Red. Wake up dude.
