Why is #TrumpWasRightAboutEverything trending nationwide?

Mass cognitive dissonance.

It seems it's a good time for a friendly reminder: #HillaryWasRight

"That's because he'd would rather have a puppet as President of the United States." @HillaryClinton

$83.83 for almost a full tank of #gas in southwest #Atlanta.

Nonetheless, we persist 🇺🇦
#gasprices Image
As of Tuesday morning, the average cost for a gallon of gas in the country is $4.17 per AAA. The current price is up approximately 10 cents from Monday and more than 50 cents from last week. Costs are expected to continue to rise throughout the year. usatoday.com/story/money/20…
The sanctions put on #Russia by the U.S. and #EuropeanUnion severely impacted Russia's ability to sell crude oil, one of the biggest determiners for gas prices. Since the country is one of the biggest energy suppliers, crude oil prices have dramatically risen.

@Dvanhayes @jasonesteves Jason Hayes, Esq. - Have you lost your mind?

You have the unmitigated gall to repost a photo of MY CHILD as if he is your pathetic political pawn? You're trying to take aim at Mr. Esteves by weaponizing MY CHILD, counselor?

Hang on. Stay right here. Don't delete a thing.
@Dvanhayes @jasonesteves Is this you, @Dvanhayes? I need to be certain who I am addressing before I dress you down.

bsllaw.net/our_team/david…
@Dvanhayes @jasonesteves Did you bother to consider THE CHILD in the photograph you reposted casually like my son is some type of frivolous fodder for your fire? As if it's your right.

Explain how you felt it acceptable and safe to use my child in any way?

Explain yourself, Davis.
