Gil, what do you make of this rainbow effect we captured on Route 1 the other afternoon. Interesting. @gilsimmons

I was introduced to your work with the wonderful NYPD Red series, and have just now finished "The Rabbit Factory," the first in the Lomax and Biggs books. Great read! Of all the marvelous lines in the book, I think "character assassination" is my favorite! @MarshallKarp

Guys, enjoy your work but tonight's closed captioning on the wonderful WW veteran singing "God Bless America" was embarrassingly awful. Go back and look at the disservice you did to that brave American. @DavidMuir @ABCWorldNews

To be fair, if $5000 would actually change your life, you most likely are a Trump supporter. Lmao.

I totally envision Trump renaming the San Andreas Fault to Joe Biden’s Fault, and I am just putting this out there so I can say I predicted it one day.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
