1. I saw that, so very sad.

On the other hand, millions more got to see them perform than had this not occurred.

2. Same here! This is so un-American that it makes me ill. TFG is making bigotry lawful in this country again

4. Excellent 60 Minutes segment

This is a damning and important real time story. I sure hope it gains traction. Wouldn't surprise me if the rapist felon sues CBS again.
