or do you agree with the author that this was a "stochastic act of political terrorism?"

I'm not going to engage in speculation about who released tape, as I don't see any compelling evidence about who released it and I'm not one to engage in baseless speculation.

Lol what? - I tied him directly to the tape and to the written statement? ellisonz Nov 2022 #33

"LOL what?" Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #34

The endorsement doesn't mean anything much. ellisonz Nov 2022 #35

Like hell an endorsement by the LA Times doesn't mean much in a mayoral race in LA. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #36

Yeah but Caruso named dropped the exact "How he saved the LA Times" in the debate. ellisonz Nov 2022 #37
