I own Vanguard funds... I’ve got a Roth IRA with Vanguard. I’ll be certain to let them know that Hogg is nothing more than a huckster trying to stay relevant.

We have investments in both. Think I’ll reach out and ask they not cave.

Maybe they will get a 20% increase in support like Laura Ingraham did!

I like the Hogg updates and the commentary that follow. Don’t want to read ‘em, don’t click on ‘em.

One of my goals in life is to counter whatever the Boy Führer has to say.

Well I hope you reach that pinnacle in your life. Have at it!☺

He just turned 18. That means he’s an adult and any adult of any age can give him a haymaker right in the puss. It would be a crime sure, but not severe in the sense that you would be hitting a minor.

Vanguard and Blackrock hold quite a bit of Twitter stock, Hogg’s favorite platform.

Hoggy tried to do another walkout for the day of Columbine’s anniversary but the people from the school contacted him and told him they don’t support it and he backed out and erased all his tweets too.
