When they say “Northwestern will pay the US government $75 million dollars” to get their research funds restored, what they really mean is that they extorted Northwestern into putting $75 million into FOTUS Taco P. Krasnov’s pocket. We live in an open kleptocracy. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/unite...

Since he both murders random unknown people on boats and cites the Insane Clown Posse as an actual science source, his new name should be Violent D. He already has the clown make up. Release the Epstein Files. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/trum...

So, we can either:

A.) Surrender the 1st Amdt and watch even the mildest of political satirists like Colbert and Kimmel be driven away, or…

B.) Allow the Fed Govt to be even more lenient on media mergers, reducing our info stream an even further diluted and tainted smaller trickle.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
