Backpage, Bullsh*t, and Politics

So you didn’t like Backpage because you thought it was involved in human trafficking? Well, you were wrong. But because you got your information from Cindy McCain and the federal government, you got what is now known as “fake news.” First, Backpage was never involved in human trafficking. Backpage has…

Christmas in New York 80 years later.
