WHAT? He gets to go on vacation? Life is good, FOR SOME! LOCK.HIM UP! 😡

Paul Howard is a disgrace to the law, the man is an absolute joke. A politically elected official that’s locked in a run-off election against his former top aide and is under investigation by the GBI for sexual harassment & embezzlement.

I cant understand how a murder suspect is out jail and living life!?🤨

Just kidding, the WNBA doesn’t take a step without first trying to make it something bigger. Upon entering the court at IMG Academy in Florida, both teams sported shirts that said “Vote Warnock,” referencing Raphael Warnock, a Democrat who is running against partial-team owner and full-time Twitter troll Kelly Loeffler for her senate seat, ESPN reports. \n Fascinating story!
