"Re my last tweet — looks like @chucktodd & NBC just decided to omit mention of this image."



It's just unbelievable that they say such lies.

Desperate people resorting to desperate measures.

It is so pathetic the means the very privileged will go to to protect that privilege.

I use to tolerate them. I'm starting to hate them.
