  • Online campaigns directed by Republicans continue to target Kirk’s critics online

      I’m self-employed, so nobody can fire me but me ( and I’ve been tempted at times). Luckily, my boss despises MAGA Nazi Traitors, as much as I do, so I’m safe.

      Also, I’d never be so stupid as to post my political views under my own name.
