Oh.
βWe have agreedβ β how nice of them! Surely theyβre doing this work pro bono right?
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Only if you are dying...

Donald Trump tapped the only sitting Senator without a bachelorβs degree as DHS Secretary?
Markwayne Mullin dropped out of college and then went and got an associateβs over a decade later?
What could go wrong?

The billions of dollars stolen, wasted, & funneled to the plethora of inhumane, immoral & unconstitutional acts by this regime is incalculable

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
