ReplyDeleteThe liberals on FOX have been wanting to get rid of conservatives like Diamond and Silk for a long time now. Take a look at the lies about this virus that MSNBC and CNN have put out there. As a matter of fact no one knows much about this virus at all so there's been huge amounts of disinformation put out there. But because Diamond and Silk are smart and conservative they are going to be targets.
Hahaha,Diamond and Silk are smart...more like Cubic Zirconia and Velour

ReplyDeleteWhen I noticed that there wasn't a Couch for me to bend Alina's big flabby ass over, she said "Improvise"!
@6:12 you mean disinformation like "injecting UV Rays" and drinking Clorox?
ReplyDeleteGeesus 6:12, do you have any idea the background of Diamond and Silk? Apparently, you are in their prime target market for their grift. If there's a right winger out there you wingnuts follow, you can be sure they know they have a captive, unquestioning audience that provides them a nice cushy lifestyle.

ReplyDeleteWhile the dancer was choreographing her stage routine, the basement blogger entered from the rear and proceeded with an in-depth interview!!!
Funny a story about Biden's sexual assault is being ignored by the media but if it had been against Trump or any appointees of his the media haters would have been all over it.
ReplyDeleteThe media lied and thousands didn't die.
Biden has been chosen as the liberal candidate and he's been ordered to chose a woman of color for his VP. The liberal media will protect him no matter what he has done. Just like with Obama and his 20 year relationship with Jeremiah Wright and his Muslim beliefs, he'll be protected to the end.
