And this is global news, why?

So no more Russian collusion to run with 24/7 so I guess it's back to trusty old racism huh FakeNews

Seventeen year old ...’boy’. Psahw!

What? That’s got to be a mistake bc this country permits destruction of minorities. Look at brown folk at the border or blacks being gunned down by police with no consequences
