Politically connected Democrat activist released by Democrat-controlled city officials in one of the most corrupt cities in the country? Not very, but I was hoping. You would think other activists would be pretty pissed he squandered some of their social capital and not let him off the hook.

“But on the other hand,” Colbert quipped, “isn’t it a hopeful sign for America that regardless of your race or sexual orientation, all rich, famous people get off easily? I believe, it was Martin Luther King who said, ‘I have a dream that one day, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will hire the very best publicists to leverage their social media profile, escape charges and make a big comeback on The Masked Singer.“

In other news, that face you make when the Washington Post calls you out on your BS:
Ocasio-Cortez’s misleading complaint: Trump did not transfer funds for the opioid emergency
TL;DR: AOC seems to be taking on the President on his home turf: Twitter.
And the WaPo just ripped that claim to shreds.

I heard AOC used to be a major of a a small town when she was 18. However, being so inexperienced, she quickly ran the town's finances into the ground and was impeached after two months. Her signature failure was spearheading the development of a winter sports complex called Ice Town which bankrupted the town, leading to the newspaper headline "Ice Town Costs Ice Clown Her Town Crown."
