Nothing to do with Pirro and Burgum. It’s just that there are consequences for lying to a judge, so Pirro’s team has to admit that the vandalism didn’t exist and all the charges were invented. There are no consequences for lying to the public (Trump rewards it) so Burgum continues to do so.
Helen KennedyOh my. Pirro v Burgum is on people. (Cannot see how they both stay in their jobs)
! again. Very similar to UK numbers (despite lower amounts and higher background wealth) with a similar split in both nations by gender and age, but not by political lean. Don’t buy the smug marginal wealth increase explainers - no change across socio-economic status.

Iranians hate American freedoms. Also bombing a primary school and killing 120 children. But mostly the freedoms.
