If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Pro-gun groups quickly rallied for Alex Pretti. Why didn’t they do the same for a Black gun owner?
