  • Why give attention to frauds

    I get SA wants to be Mr “I am neutral and want everyone’s opinions” however when you know a person is a fraud and a child molestor - why give them any type of credibility. Case in point Cuomo! You are disappointing sometimes however I know you are on no one’s team you are team SA.
