DNC, night #2
Michelle Obama. That’s all you need to review. She even eclipsed her hubby, it was that good: (Kamala Harris) understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we…

Reverend Senator
Wow, the words of the reverend and US Senator, Raphael Warnock! I’m saying it now, he’s got the spirit of MLK and I hope he stays in politics. The man can preach.

Why he or his publisher decided to turn it into a comic…
