2. Well by the time you screamed about, "Dragging their fuck asses through the streets" Donny Trump

had already admitted that he had lost the election multiple times. So during your @ least
5 year stay in “club fed” you can think about that Mr. Ryan Nichols as the rest of America
forgets who you are, where you’re locked up @, and your name too. Welcome to Nowhere’s
Ville, USA Mr. Ryan Nichols.
