Oh my. I can't imagine what Harbach was thinking; they are in precarious enough a situation with Cannon without antagonizing her more.

Florida hearing in Trump classified documents case devolves into shouting match

What you all say is true, but that doesn't change the fact that change comes first from within. It might not become obvious right away, but eventually the forces of negativity can and will be overcome.

Of course, it might be the dolphins doing so.

It's easy to blame the media, or rich people, or whoever else. I advocate looking in the mirror.

I'm not buying it. The media follows the people, not the other way around.

McConnell speaks out! (Oh, wait.)

You can say that it is poor messaging, but people are going to believe what they want to believe, no matter how untrue it is.
