    Remember, this same Government controld the Broadcast license ALL television stations are required to have..
    SAVE AMERICA THIS NOVEMBER and stop the Democrat puppet regime! Vote for the only candidate PROVEN to work for AMERICA’S INTERESTS and the CITIZENS. Also, the ONLY CANDIDATE that GOT VOTED INTO THE NOMINATION!
       Stop foreign interests getting put in front of America’s interests!! #TrumpVance2024 is the only vote for a TRUE President that CAN actually have an UNSCRIPTED AND INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION with fellow world leaders!!  
      Seriously, #KamalaHarris has had almost 4 years and only proven what a FAILURE she is and how much she makes Ol’ Clueless Biden look like a genius…

    I’m so sorry that the pathetic billionaire Zuckerberg got pushback on posting false health information during a time when hundreds of thousands of Americans were being buried in mass graves..POOR, POOR TRUMP LOVING ZUCKERBERG desperately wants the rich tax breaks that comes with another Trump presidency at the expense of our nation’s welfare so he’s teaming up with the convicted criminal Trump because he thinks he and his billionaire buddies should have ALL THE NATIONS WEALTH while paying the smallest to no taxes to keep it running‼️😢😢😢GIMME A FREAKING BREAK‼️ #harriswalz2024 👍🏼 #notgoingback 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🗽⚖️✌🏻
