I don't think that will be enough to pacify the MAGA loons, Sidney. tanyev Oct 2023 #15

she can believe what she wants...it's her testimony that matters... agingdem Oct 2023 #16

She obviously is getting death threats, gab13by13 Oct 2023 #17

And probably seeing donations to her are falling off. No more million$ for Kracken Krazy n/t Attilatheblond Oct 2023 #60

Kind of a pickle she's putting herself in, isn't it? yardwork Oct 2023 #21

"She" has nothing to do with this. This is just someone else's opinion. Pure clickbait. PSPS Oct 2023 #22

No, the newsletter is basically her operation muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #43

Maybe it's "her operation" but it's not her words. It's an opinion piece written in the third person. PSPS Oct 2023 #55

Which she is repeating. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #59

Except... no she isn't FBaggins Oct 2023 #63

Agreed but it is an aggravator underpants Oct 2023 #27

It certainly doesn't vet its sources. gab13by13 Oct 2023 #35
