THEY ARE BEGGING FOR A LAWSUIT
Lazy of them. Like all eurotrash. Just fling names and mislabels and get speaking fees. Meanwhile the EU is going to track every transaction by their citizens through CBDC. That is fascism. Just like China.
Why is it always up to us to point out that there are far more parallels to Hitler in the modern day demonicRAT and Labour Party? Where would Hitler feel more at home? In Martha’s Vineyard or Mar-a-Lago?
WAIT!!! Someone called him a fascist???!!! WHOA!!!
Wait a minute!!
I thought he was King!
A fascist is what communists call non-communists.
A fascist is what communists call non-communists.
And they never say “Nazi”, because Nazi is short for National Socialist.
Martha’s Vineyard, big time.
Stop screwing around. Kick out the Brits and recall our ambassador.

One reason you get to point out the “parallels to Democrat and Labor” is because your claim is simply untrue.
Joisting at windmills again I see.. why waste time on England they are self destructing anyway...
As a substitute for Words, words, words... Very good!
And yet they have no problem with locking people up for internet posts and praying near an abortion clinic. Who are the real fascists? These people make me sick to my stomach with the endless lies

Meanwhile, on a related note...

I don’t think the POTUS would retweet this, but the VP should consider it.
