I didnt know she was active like this, but I will say that lady is FUNNY AS ALL FUCK!! If you get a chance to watch her (she has a standup show or two on Netflix,) DO IT !! I watch a lot of standup, and really loved hers - I made my mom watch it when she visited, because she really had some great bits about being a woman hitting middle age, and we both really enjoyed her set.

One of the funniest women on the circuit - I havent looked to see if she has released anything post-Trump, but if she has I'm sure its brutal. Check her out !

There are so many on "our side" who still fail to realize how they were (and still are) being manipulated by Russian propaganda.

If there had been a Twitter in the 1950s, Russian bots would have been tweeting denunciations of lynchings in the South.

JPR or not, we’re aiding and abetting mass starvation, the worst cholera outbreak in modern times, and flat-out war crimes. The UK has contributed even more than we have.

Russian bots or not, JPR or not, we clearly need to get out of Yemen.
