How much money is wasted by conservatives who don’t have any to support these people? They obviously don’t care about anything but sucking up money from the rubes…how else do you explain having the Pizzagate conspiracy have anyone talking about it?

You beat me to it. A rash of BedBug infestations. The BedBug Hotline probably can draw direct red lines from their Rube Lairs straight to Doral.

How about the Rub N Tug providers nearby. They probably made some money promoting their Incel Specials
