  • John “Can’t I be Just a little racist?” Malone

    Kara should not have been surprised by bringing on a big pro fascist white tv exec p@ssy businessman Malone. This guy is no saint. Who refers to black persons as “blacks”? Someone who is so out of touch with society and current world we live in. He’s a pure capitalist republican through and through. What was the goal of having him on?

    So glad to see that the ChatBot suicide you covered 9 months ago is finally getting the widespread coverage it should have back then. As a grandmother of a 17 year boy it was and is terrifying !
