A “Gold Seam” Connects Republican Donors To The Insurrection
Fact: insurrections don’t pay for themselves. And, as a rule, insurrectionists themselves don’t have deep pockets.

Fact: the cynical, corrupt religionistas who just took away every American woman’s reproductive rights never thought for two seconds of the ripple effects their spurious actions would cause. They never thought about them and didn’t care. Unfortunately for them, those ripple effects will boomerang viciously.…
