But will this report matter at all? After all, it was prepared by a white guy (Horowitz identifies as white mail, and has done so all his life). To my understanding, and if the left is correct, he is by definition a racist, worse than scum and, quite frankly, lucky to even hold a job. So why should anyone listen to him? Just asking.. I've been watching CNN a lot and this question is most pressing to me

Fast Freddy Two Shoes was the 1st to post and boy oh boy did he post a lot. His cup of headlines that he read and reposted (He did not read the actual stories) overfloweth. HE is posting a lot for the lost week compared to the previous 2 weeks when he was quiet.

He is in a manic high. He though that his boy Schiff was going to get Trump, so he was pumped. Now the alarm bells are going off and he is scared and pissed. He could lose everything.

Poor boy is going to lose his whole world view, if Republican are not convicted and thrown into jail.
