Rabbit Holes and Warren Buffett February 25, 2022February 24, 2022 A Trump fan responded to yesterday‘s post: << With no one in [Putin’s] circle daring to tell him it’s an awful idea. >> Andy, did anyone in your circle dare to tell you BIDEN is an awful idea?

They both became nurses, and Garner’s sister married a doctor and had three children. Then, around the time of the 2020 presidential election, Garner’s sister started looking at some of the conspiracy theories swirling online about how former President Donald Trump lost the vote. . . . And, boy, does the story ever go downhill from there. Worth reading.
