That's true in all states, but in WV and MS more than one-fourth of 20-year-olds are not expected live to retirement age.

And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

- Reposted by did:plc:vkbtwdv2olnkznnwnvq2x4r7I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.
