Mick Jagger [View all] Norbert Thursday OP

This message was self-deleted by its author Skittles Thursday #1

it is likely a fake quote, notice the OP provides no link, and this 'quote' is all over dodgy social media accounts with Celerity Thursday #19

This is POST-AND-RUN by the OP. It's been hours and no response Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #24

It happens far too often on here. I recall one pure fake OP, completely debunked by multiple posters all up and down Celerity Thursday #29

Yup. It is irresponsible. Especially when we are battling FAKE NEWS from the regime. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #30

And they will curse and blame Democrats the whole time. I hope they're miserable. Walleye Thursday #11

Are there such people in the UK also? FakeNoose Thursday #13

No Bob or Peter but no racist either malaise Thursday #42

Fair play. Celerity Thursday #43

Sorry, what is he referring to? This is very vague and could be about anything. LymphocyteLover Thursday #10

Searching for it, I suspect it's fake muriel_volestrangler Thursday #16

Where is the Original Poster? Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #26
