Plus, a dramatic reading of a very polite email.

PS, content warning for murder and sexual assault in this one!

Trump Is A Russian Asset with Betsy Stover Feb 22, 2019

This darn president. Some people love hate him, some people love him, but pretty much everyone can agree that he wishes he could ride a horse shirtless with Vladimir Putin.
