II suspect it wasnโ€™t as inadvertent as they claim.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

This is criminal. Usually, a person who is alleging harm has to sue in court. They canโ€™t serve as the judge and jury and decide their own award. These GOP cretins will not extend health care subsidies, but they will pay $1,000,000 each to 8 senators at last count because they say they were harmed.
