The super troll is also a sore winner. 6ix9ine hopped on Instagram made sure to call out every single person he feels doesn’t want to see him win on radio and streaming services.

After much scrutiny and slander for continuing to show signs of some sort of mental decline (his racism still seems very much intact though), Henry Winkler decided to take to social media and show the world how an old, yet able man drinks a glass of water with a single hand. Posting a quick video with a caption reading “One hand,” The OG Fonz held a cup of wa...

But what was especially maddening occurred is that Trump somehow found a way to make Juneteenth about himself.
