Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Thank you to the ONE in a million decent Police Chiefs, who is standing up for We the People and our democracy. And what is Ted Cruz doing back there? Shouldn't he be handing out checks to all those who attended rallies yesterday??

Lemme get this straight: Randy Andy didn't know Virginia Guiffre but gave her date of birth and social security number to a police officer and asked him to dig up dirt on her

Where'd he get her personal information from? 🤨

KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open
