And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

As a lifelong, committed Democrat, the extent of my support for the Democratic party for the foreseeable future is unseating every last incumbent Democratic Senator and electing local progressives.
I have rebuilt the bridges YOU have burned too many times. I'm done.

Number one, he did not write this, because it makes actual sense. Number two, he's lying about the three trillion dollars. Number three, I guess you should have thought about that in the first place when you illegally prescribed tariffs for the globe, Donald.

Identify your likely 'publication date' and count backwards to identify how many weeks you need of invested money to cover your novel marketing. I routinely tell people to start 2 years out from your publication date because saving 100 a week is damn hard.
