yeah okay sure 😭😭psyops and cia hard at work rn
My exact first thought 😂
comments are disgusting
Kind of crazy timing that he’s a Venezuelan national in a stolen car, the day after Miller gets a promotion. Traffic was fine in that area on Thursday too, I would think that this would’ve been a bigger deal and been all over the news.
Not something they want to talk about on mainstream news
To all the hateful violent people on this chat, be careful what u wish for. The universe is watching.
