Daniel Garcia says Jon Moxley turned the ship around in AEW. #AEW
you can count on Trump to sympathize with any man who puts his hands on a woman
Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.
Regardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
