Any concerns over the convicted felon and his child predator friend?

It is interesting that there were no calls by the media for Trump to drop out after he was convicted. 🤔

Weird premise, but since it's not the 1100th hit piece on Biden this week, I'll take it.

More of this. More of this! Bring out on a bike is so radically different from being airdropped into some diner in Akron. On a bike, you really meet people, you start to really interact with community in a deeper and more comprehensive way.

I ❤️ this kind of feet-on-the-ground, speaking face-to-face with a local Mister or Ms. sort of reporting. I watched Charles Kuralt do this kind of thing for decades on CBS, and that's what got me hooked on journalism. (I've also had breakfast on several occasions at Cafe du Monde. Great stuff!) 😎

Beignets are great. Chicory coffee however...🤮
