I prefer my news not to be sanewashed. Imagine all the people reading Marc’s headline(s). Do you think they would start waking up from this nightmare, partially created by media that literally paid the government to keep trump off their back? Please subscribe if you can. The truth is out there.

I hope every democracy loving Missourian has plans to protest on the steps of the Capitol in Jeff City. A huge event is planned for 9/10. At least 2 buses are chartered from STL and I know more fromKC. Not sure if they are voting before or after but might be worth going on 9/3 as well for the start.

If you're doing conservative, Republican hubristic rhetoric I think one is meant to say that about oneself, so Marc Elias might say "Marc Elias is right about everything." But if you're just saying, in general, then that's fine. Yes. Pretty much seems to be the case.
