If she was in a room full of retirees worth between 1 and 10 million talking about how people need to donate more money, her comments would be inappropriate and I would 100% agree with you. But that wasn't the room she was in and I think that matters. Would the message be more powerful coming...

So this is how the war of the Epstein files begins.

They are playing a dangerous game. This could turn people onto the fact that they have been lied to and conned. Hungry people generally want concrete answers.

You are welcome to call out her level of wealth as excessive, that is not the issue I take here. My issue is that you are in essence telling her to "shut up" as if she does not have a leg to stand on. Compared to the people in that room, she absolutely did and does have a leg to stand on. They...

8 years ago, we bought a starter home in our area for about double what you listed in an ok neighborhood. Keep in mind, most other neighborhoods were well above that price and we could not afford at that time. Since then, it doubled in value, plus interest rates have gone up. If we refinanced...

The good news is that our football program is not beyond repair. That is all I got.

I think you are incredibly wrong here IMO. Someone worth $50 million is not a systemic threat to a free society due to a wealth and power discrepancy like someone worth $250 billion like Zuckerberg is. He can buy political offices, he can massage and bribe the government (indirectly, but also...

Freudian slip. He would only be mad if the Dems did it.

Good news: that should happen at the end of the season.

She knew it was a lie all along. Now she sees speaking out against it as more politically expedient than perpetuating the lie. This is an interesting development and is a good sign IMO.
