Did Sara bring her private hair salon with her?

Never forget that Israel killed a poet and professor in Gaza and the west had very little to say about it - and that Bari Weiss incited his killing.

Someone should recut this dubbing in Larry David's recitation of the Gettysburg Address. Otherwise, it simply defies parody...

In 2019, Bolsonaro's Fed. Police tried to force Greenwald to name his source for the Telegram leaks in the Vaza Jato scandal. 40 progressive lawyers agreed to defend him, pro bono, on 7.7.2019. On 8.8.2019 the Supreme Court he now slanders as 'totalitarian' ruled in his favor+
