Sinclair Chairman Claims Entire Print Media Has ‘No Credibility’.

Mueller said last month Trump not a criminal target at this point.
Today, April 3, was declared “Punish a Muslim Day” in the UK and US by, you know, fucking assholes. The Muslim community responded with #LoveAMuslim.

He used a Safe Drinking Water Act loophole, intended to quickly hire water quality experts, to give an extra $84,000 to his aides from Okla.—after the White House explicitly said no. Of course he did. He’s always been a horrible excuse for a human being.
