How much did this sandwich fiasco cost the American taxpayer? Elder G breaks it down for us: When the USAO goes felony → grand jury → fails to indict → they STILL push it down into the misdemeanor federal officer channel… this is exactly the type of ego-preservation prosecution I was talking about.

After observing the Friday news/social media/spending boycott, I awoke early Saturday morning to the news of the Trump/Zelenskyy press conference. I’ve never been more ashamed of my country, […]
