- THANK YOU CHAD
I have never sprinted to the review section faster. THANK YOU CHAD for speaking up about one of the ABUNDANT horrifying crimes against humanity that Trump is actively committing. I am disappointed in Kelsey’s meek quiet dismissive attitude to his passion on the topic of child predators. I’m sure she’s concerned with backlash, but there has to be a line and making your morals and ethics known is becoming the bare minimum for who we consume media from.
