And an interview with Allie Funk on the can of worms that is "reforming" the Communications Decency Act Section 230, because Josh Hawley wants Wonkette to be forced to allow Turgid Love Muscle to post his interesting thoughts on poo poo penises, OR ELSE! Or ... you know ... Nazi stuff. — Freedom House
Well hello VLOOKUP! — Easy Excel
