For the record, this Cross-Country Checkup dust-up is face-plantingly stupid. I am disappointed in *so many of you*.
I wish words like 'normalizing' and 'platforming' had never been invented. NOT looking to talk about it, obviously. This silly app coming back off my phone.

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.
During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

Boozedoggle. Incredible stuff.
Note that the math here is somewhat different from the figures that led the Liberals to pan this policy as a "billion-dollar boozedoggle" and it would be relatively straightforward to fix the "problem" such as it is. Still, a good report for the opposition.
