[@solophillysfinest7378]

McGregor would make Colby look even dumber then he makes himself look, McGregor is witty and is the King of trash talk, and Colby is a fake trying to copy McGregor's style to put himself in Conor's position to sell himself, but he doesn't have the intelligence that Conor has, or does he have a whole country behind him, there's only one Conor McGregor🇨🇮👊🏼🇨🇮👊🏼

[@rileygarneys1237]

@@chrishayes5755 It's my, likely misguided, hope that perhaps through the sheep repeating the line it might cause some people who still actually think for themselves and actually in a position to do something about it to question and look more deeply into the situation. Not that we can do anything about, most people get that he was murdered. Likely by orders of some of the most powerful people in the world. But still, we have no idea who did it, their exact motive (not speculation), or anything really, all we really know is exactly the line "Epstein didn't kill himself". That much we know.
