That people will believe anything with enough Media Coverage even enough to destroy their lives and not know who to blame even when it’s infront of them.
Good Quote, The Greatest Challenge in Life is Discovering who you are.
Now every employee will be valued as per the performance which will be visible not the “Cleavage” or the “Short Skirt”
fabulous as always
Taught us what? That the media is all trash nowadays!
You mean the PLANDEMIC, yeah
