Hey Kash – Follow the Real Cash
Everybody has heard about the criminal charges against some basketball players. They are charged with giving out inside information about how other players were (or were not) going to play. Then, of course, they are alleged to have used that information to make money. The Justice Department made a big deal out of this. Televised … Continue reading Hey Kash – Follow the Real Cash
The “I” Word
MAGA has made it toxic to merely mention the “I” word – “Impeachment.” They have so often and so viciously condemned the prior Impeachments of Orange Julius (“O.J.”) that suggesting we go through it again will necessarily be greeted with guffaws.
