  • TDS Much??

    His TDS makes his latest podcast unlistenable. The stories you told about DJT and his friends’ wives were as believable as Mother Goose tales. I was so surprised. I thought you had much higher journalistic standards 🤷‍♀️ ( and don’t bother I’m not a DJT super fan - just think it best to stick to more FACTUAL criticisms)
