I just cannot stop laughing about Trump appointing crazy Rudy Giuliani to lead his voter fraud election lawsuit legal team

Conservatives are so freaked out about Twitter labels on their lying tweets (FB doing it now too) that a mass exodus to Parler, Newsmax, MeWe & Rumble led by Levin, Bartiromo & GOP happened last week
