That was before the election. That wasn't the half of it, though. Starmer's Labour Party put its money where Starmer's mouth was, dispatching 100 Labour Party political operatives like flying monkeys to...

It went viral again over the weekend after a repost by some prominent accounts, like ‘Defiant L’s,’ which tracks liberal self-owns and those afflicted by Trump derangement syndrome.

A vehicle's driver approaches a Trump supporter holding a flag supporting the former president’s 2024 candidacy. It obviously...
