Hard to believe Saldana is actually a native New Yorker. She should know better.

But were Jackson’s kids making public comments about it back then? That is the key part of the story here, and it’s the reason the episode got shelved.

No, idiot. Who said anything about being complicit?

Do you not understand that Paul Ryan is an enemy to the working class, and believes only the wealthy deserve access to adequate healthcare?

This article would probably be more effective without the grammatical error in the first paragraph.
