Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Can people who are good at this type of video editing - pull public assault video and overlay name and conviction.
It would be VERY helpful to be able to post and repost SPECIFIC violent acts that Trump has pardoned.

Cecile Richards was a warrior for women’s rights, but also incredibly kind and generous with her mentorship and advice. As a former Texan, I revered Cecile and her mother, Ann Richards, and getting to know Cecile was the honor of a lifetime.
