Summary

What would you do if your political opponent shoveled your driveway? Search for ulterior motives? Give them cookies? You know something's wrong when you can't say thank you to some one who disagrees with you politically, and yet that's exactly what the https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-02-05/trumpite-neighbor-unity-capitol-attack (L.A.

0:42.3	Oh, absolutely. Every morning I wake wake up I look in the mirror and I say I love you you love me. We're a happy family. That's what Barney taught me as a child. That's not exactly.
