That are speaking up for Thom. The man has more historical facts than 20 encyclopedias. We have very few voices in media that fight for democrats compared to White Wing radio and TV. Oh shit, I said Fight!!😱😱 I might be pushing Russia and trumpism violence?
Damn John Fugelsang, he might be a Russian Christian. He knows way to much about the BuyBull.
I’m sick of the Hartmann bashing. Spend some time on Bannon, Jones and Tucker, and that prick at the Natzeeeeee Rally Marginal Trailer Queen spoke at. Now there’s some Russian pushing BS.
Ya wanna bash some Russian Democratic spies, rant about Tulsi Gabbert. Just my opinion. I will keep listening to Thom, my ears, my choice.
Ya hate Thom, do as I do to any right wing Russian humpers. Don’t tune in.
Tucker Carlson, that’s a Russia media Darling. Betting he gets more Pooty media time than Hartmann.
