When they see they don't get a reaction, they'll move on.
We do need to concentrate on protecting our democracy while the children play act.

Or -- and I wish this was fantastical -- will the FBI be using stingray devices to get the info on people who show up? Facial recognition, as is now being used at public protests against ICE thugs?

(44 posts)how many times the media enshrines him. and cbs and abc and most other outlets try to bend viewers thoughts to accept Kirk's ideology as normal and even handed because he had some followers............we're not buying it. keep publishing his actual sayings and pronouncements!
we still want the Epstein files..........
