Loved,loved, LOVED this podcast!!!

It’s sad, scary, heart wrenching, infuriating, suspenseful, and unbelievable (some multiple times and not in that order).
How people can continue to defend their horrid behavior and be promoted despite the obviousness in watching it on video is just beyond me…. Well done Mr. Morrison, well done.

Step Dad did it.

Step dad did it

Just kidding but I’d say he’s lacking common sense. Maybe some understanding of the United States constitution
