WHYY do libtards get to the front of the line? WHYY are libtards so concerned about an opposing viewpoint? WHYY did that damn public TV station mimic a popular word of inquiery? WHYY, I ask? WHYY?
That’s scary why are they wearing them i don’t get it looks uncomfortable
he supplies his own.
Why did PBS get increased funding in every Republican administration from Reagan to GW Bush?
Yep, that’s a ball gag. When you are force to wear one, you are very . . . far from okay.
PBS = PALISIMIAN BROADCASTING STATIONS
Islam Delenda Est
Damn, not enough ball-gags in this thread.
