the newspaper for exposing just how physically compromised the current leader was during his term.

Onions to

the dishonest fundraising letter.

the specter of dark days ahead with the incoming administration.

the president-elect who seems to be a billionaire’s puppet.

the government forgiving a loan simply because the borrower agrees to pay taxes.

the true “witch hunts,” just now beginning, that will shift into high gear when the once rejected, now reelected one takes office and has his minions hunt them down.
