I find myself agreeing with some of what she said. Did hell freeze over?
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

It is moments like this that you begin to understand why so many have demonized empathy and compassion.
They want us to care so little for others that we will ignore injustices being carried out against them.

I recently bought a small sewing kit so that I could mend and hem things as needed. It came with an assortment of colors of thread, some needles and a needle threader. According to the packaging, it also came with a reusable pouch. Here's the kit in its reusable pouch! 😂 Gotta love marketing!
