But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

- Reposted by Dr. Fred J. Calef IIIEurope is still clinging to the fairytale of “good russians.” Still pretending it’s “putin’s war,” not russia’s. While russians kill Ukrainians, other russians compete as “neutral athletes” at the Olympics. That’s denial, cowardice, and moral rot. #UkrainianView

He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
