Even there, we're talking half a mill, and while Trump's tax and funneled money scams go to hundreds of millions, even in office, not to mention his kids getting hundreds of millions if not more from Saudi Arabia, Russia and China.

But nice to take some more wind out of the Cornel/Jill Stein/Andrew Yang purity clan.

Every life has transcendent moments.

The birth of my child.

Appearing as a keyboardist on a Miles Davis recording.

And today this, from a man I deeply respect and now have the incredible honor of working with.

Thank you @CornelWest https://t.co/jOITmcl0gP

] "In April 2023 Daou became the campaign manager for Marianne Williamson's 2024 Presidential Campaign for a month, before resigning in May.[5][6]"

Overall Daou seems ok, but leaving the Democratic Party recently may have whacked some common sense.
