Didn't you lay off your entire socialist magazine's staff when they tried to unionize?
There is no way to morally justify having a trillion dollars

Team Abdul is clearly in meltdown because Haley Stevens unequivocally condemned the targeting of children and Abdul El-Sayed can’t.
Haley, once again, sides with the Trump administration and can’t string two coherent sentences together. Leadership requires that you have moral clarity and can say words that make sense when put in order.

Abdul’s team is talking about “moral clarity” when Abdul knows Victim 2 and their kids are roughly the same age. And he can’t issue an unequivocal condemnation? Come on.
Is he taking your advice or ignoring it right now, Roxie?

This isn't hard: Condemn violence without equivocation. The reported planned violence and intimidation at the University of Michigan is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my opponent cannot bring himself to say that is concerning.

Michigan's Iron Lady?
I’m very appreciative of the tireless work done by various levels of law enforcement on the University of Michigan campus, in Michigan and across the United States to bring this matter forward.

Nathan J. Robinson, the guy who wants to destroy America’s auto industry, should probably stay out of Michigan politics for a while.
"Does Israel come to you in your dreams like it does to Haley Stevens?"
"No. But I am haunted by pictures of what our taxpayer dollars paid for."

Tecumseh might be the perfect small town. It certainly has a lovely downtown with a wine shop, a shoe store, a toy store, a bakery, a fantastic hobby store, and much more. It’s almost like stepping back in time, but you don’t need a time machine to visit!

'The millions of American Muslims who celebrate, identify with, and depend on the freedom and pluralism that Islamism violently rejects have as much at stake in this argument as anyone.' A brilliant, eye-opening essay by @reihan in new @SapirJournal sapirjournal.org/fixing-amer…
