He pardoned Bannon after he stole from the trump cult.

I guess the laptop and everything on it is real. Who would have guessed?

[@christophermartin5742]

Huh? 😂

[@pho-kingsoup8126]

The only thing that was in contention was the fake Russian narrative about the laptop that's never panned out.

[@jasonm1827]

It's not the same laptop you mindless drone. 🤦

[@SunnyTalker]

At least every one can state what Hunter’s crime was, can they list in layman’s term what Trump’s 34 charges were? Because so many people cannot even explain what the crime was.

[@DebbieDerpSybilz]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@wtfisthishandIebuIlshit]

FaIsification of business records.

[@EMendonca-mp2mf]

Everyone with half a brain knows what the charges were. Who do you think your fooling?

[@pho-kingsoup8126]

The only reasons maga can't is copious amounts of orange gaslight and ignorance.
