Since scumbag ghoul Rick Scott said openly that republicans will “cut your social security and Medicare,” a reminder that he’s responsible for the largest Medicare fraud scheme in US history, his company was fined $1.7B after pleading guilty to 14 felonies. He should be in jail.

Lot of racists and dudebros tried to push Caitlyn Clark as the "great white hope" of the WNBA.
Now, here she is in her TIME piece admitting she has "White Privilege" and wants to "elevate Black women", which will make them foam at the mouth and lose their collective shit.
