Craig Corbin (ID: 000000e67be4a251) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/11/2017 With all the liberal political blather on Twitter, Social Muter cleans out that noise! Set your banned words, and you can clean out that liberal blather (or any blather), and just see the things that make you NOT dispair for the human race! Its great!
