And greedy too. The original goal was $100K, when she reached $300K she changed the goal to $1M.

Well if your going to grift, grift it to the limit.

Of course, she better hope that the donors approve of her greed going forward. I get a feeling that these donors aren't one to just quietly disagree.

Nobody’s still looking for proof of this, are they? I’m in Canada and it’s been crystal clear my entire life :/ Police win paid vacations for murdering unarmed black people. C’mon.

What's obvious to us is not necessarily so to others

Particularly stupid racists.
