ACTIVISM
Another Big, Beautiful Hoax
Putting the Ass in Assassination A few nights ago, there was a third attempt on the life of President Donald Trump. Well, at least that’s what was reported. Even more so than on the first two occasions, there was an unmistakable theatrical aspect to it. Bad theater. Ed Wood style […]
