I feel so awful for Seth Rich's family, getting dragged through the muck and the mire for political points by disinformation whackadoodles as they grapple with the still-unsolved murder of their loved one. It's truly disgusting, what they have had to contend with since 2016.
It calls to mind the awful people who show up at the graves of children who have been gunned down in mass shootings so they can shove cameras into grieving parents' faces and scream that no one died and that it was a false flag. People the @NRA deliberately encouraged
"Pressed on his relationship with Guiliani, he replied: “When you’re afraid and you don’t know anything about the depth of the waters that you’re in, you want to find a lifeguard.”

"Neighbors say trash bags, like the ones shown in a photo from two weeks ago, have been put outside Troesch’s house almost every Sunday night for Monday morning pickup."
He hasn’t changed his racist schtick since at least 1992 either. This is who he’s always been and I, for one, am beyond delight that it doesn’t seem to be working any more
I often worry that my incandescent rage at these mealy-mouthed lies flying around as people preventably suffer and die by the thousands daily is too much, that I’ve gone too far, that I’ve discredited myself. And then I see something like this from the people entrusted to power
and I realize I don’t go far enough criticizing the liars, the bad faith arguers, the both-sidesers. They are not serious people. They cannot handle the reality of life as it exists right now. It is awful
