Aside from that, he is a grade A asshole. Why has protecting hate speech become a thing?

I checked off the box on the civility code of the DU.
However, I came across petite article where Andrw ... The boss, is resolute to keep the "offensive and flamming language" usage by the impoverished right with Brits against the ultra rich, well educated Duke and Duchess of Sussex. My msg: Andrew, you're not Blonde blue eyes, so, you know what I mean, eh!? And to end on a positive note: Money is power. Money is divine
