People who need tax breaks?
Both true!
Lots of people are okay with abandoning due process (and law in general) to get revenge on this administration. They aren’t much better than MAGA, imo.
Read my new column. I decided to be more detailed about an effort to get me to shut up about #MeToo revelations. It’s important to understand how the hush-hush behind-scenes silencing and punishment work. Women get caught in a quandary due to financial and career threats.
I followed instructions.
Next door app, Sean. With ring cameras. ☠️
I wish them an excellent hearing and judgement.
That made my night. Thanks for sharing.

“C’mon. We have to pick a white guy who’s a macho-looking vet type like Jason Crow, but with no history as a mainstream Dem. You expect us to find one who’s not tainted by white supremacy stuff? Be reasonable!”
