That’s option two, the sheep will cry bloody murder regardless.

More importantly, the Democrats also have better arguments and facts (at least in this case).

Very interesting read.! Always eye-opening to get the perspective of someone that is so focused on a specific angle. Like so many things lately, this takeaway at the end is both encouraging and simultaneously terrifying:

The irony of this remarkable month of antitrust activity is that it’s both astonishing, far more bigger [sic] than anything anyone expected, yet it’s also only a tiny fraction of what is necessary to reverse the damage monopolists have done to our society.

Writing a letter with the intent of reducing the sentence of a convicted rapist counts as a coverup in my book.

Also, individuals who continue to defend rapists are not good people. Doesn't matter if they are friends.
