Trevor First of all, MLK Jr. with Roy Wood Jr.. Ok, Impeachment. Stephen His get was Tom Steyer- And, because we are collecting wealthy …

Post Impeachment Criming

Now I’m not saying there are many new crimes (with the definite exclusion of the ongoing Obstruction which has continued) in this summary, but we do have new information about them and the important point is this- These are new facts and documents, corroborating in every detail the testimony of the witnesses before the House …

Cartnoon

John Oliver- “Your Mother is going to die.” “Just kidding. She’s going to live forever. It’s a joke!” As I recall I said something about not always being hah, hah funny.

Letter From Birmingham Jail

Throwball Playoffs NFC Championship: Packers at @ ‘9ers
