IT WOULD BE PRETTY BUT THE CURRENT TIMES AND BEING PUSHED NOW MAKE IT COMPLETE TRASH AND IRRELEVANT TO REALITY. DEATH TO LIBERAL MARXISTS BLM/ANTIFA AND SUPPORTERS. YOU CANT HAVE ANYTHING BLACK WITHOUT HATE..ITS WHAT YOU WANTED IN AMERICA. SO BE IT. BASH BASH BASH. STOP COMMUNISM AND TAKE OUR HAND. OR WE ALL PERISH
You can put lipstick on a pig but it will still be a pig.
They will never truly appreciate the meaning of a night at the opera.
Why even bother?
Absolutely Love It!!!!â¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¼ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¼ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¼
Let me guess, it's because he's black.
Shout out to George Floyd on seventeen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕🚩
