About the DC Madame’s “suicide.” NO, I highly doubt she took her own life. Our government is frightening as well as the hypocrisy of the men (dems and GOP) running our country. If they are going to preach morals, then there shouldn’t be a long list of names on the client list. Sad.
I know this guy’s a radical, but the article makes a lot of sense and confirms information I’ve heard from other sources.
