Benjamin Franklin used the pseudonym “Silence Dogood” as a young printer’s apprentice. He wrote social commentary anonymously in his brother’s newspaper. He was fired. And then he became an American patriot and inventor extraordinaire.

It doesn’t matter to me how many times he has taken the jet and secret service to see a girlfriend. Stop taking the plane for personal reasons. FFS.
Kash Patel is terrible at math - he claims to have been to 15% of his girlfriend's shows. (That's 1 in every 6.) Then he says he's only been to 3. "If I was exploiting the FBI jet, I'd be at every one of her shows."
