Cipollone, another asshole who could have warned the nation, did a lot of talking yesterday.

One member of the committee said they learned a few new things. I imagine Cipollone told all about Trumps inner circle. Threw everyone under the bus. I heard it was video taped and I am sure we will get to see some of it. This is a big deal.

That is a perfect description of what we have here. “Theirs was not to make reply, Theirs was not to question why, Theirs was just to do and die.”

for not speaking out sooner, I get where they are coming from, they are coming from someone else taking on powerful, dangerous people who have the ability to take you out. How many people truly believe that Epstein hung himself?

It takes a lot of guts to speak truth to power when your life and your family's lives are on the line.

I took on powerful people in my town of 2,000 people, I got a small taste of what it takes. My name was plastered all over the local newspaper with a headline the young fighter taking on the old veteran. I spent many sleepless nights. The powerful people had goon squads who sat behind me at every council meeting and my friend even got death threats.

Yeah, Cipollone and others should have spoken out sooner, but I understand why maybe they didn't.

& Trump told him the Covid virus was real & that he was deliberately downplaying it, & Bob kept that info to himself until his frickin' book came out. I hope there's a special Covid infested room that's haunted by all the Covid victims waiting for him in hell.
