I have read another memoir. I don't usually read them, but it tickled my brain to revisit parts of history while reading them. This one was funny and sweet (and made me feel like an underachiever).

Just listening to Ina Garten's memoir. Did you know she started out at the White House? I didn't. Anyway, she helped pass legislation to limit how much one donor could donate. A week later the donors found a work around by creating super pacs.

Yes. Your media is being silenced. Your universities are being messed with. Your federal government is creating its own police force. Your president is stealing and being bribed. And now... Your election system is being manipulated.

This is why he should never be Prime Minister. This is not unifying. He is trying to use their hate of Toronto to his advantage instead of bringing the country together. Disgusting.
