Wholly Dumbed Down
“Is the law confusing? Or is Trump maybe not smart enough to understand that taking classified documents out of the White House is illegal?” That’s not spin. That’s from an NPR host this weekend struggling to come up with some exculpatory explanation for Trump’s crimes.
Bow Down to My Geography Greatness
TBH – I didn’t know it for sure. That was a bit of a lucky guess. I was just going for a southern/central (continent) country to reset in that part of the world. But yeah…I’m hooked YOU BASTARD!!
