…but IF he can make the most difference that way, why not? as long as he doesn’t align himself (and end up straying away from his own path) with the likes of Donald Trump. He can align with the Democrat or as a Republican as long as he stays true to himself. A lot of Republican politician nowadays are aligning themselves with how Trump wanted to run the country… divided and empowering racist people to do their worst. Sickening to see Abbott kiss-ass on Trump! Same with Cancun Cruz!

Just watched it last week. BRILLIANT. That last courtroom speech of his made me cry. And shout out to Samuel L Jackson that’s his best role. Although the Sandra Bullock tease storyline was completely unnecessary. She didn’t even need to be in the movie that was so extra. It was a brilliant story on its own & book was even more brilliant. I grew up in the 90s I’m not sure how I missed this when it was in the theaters or all these years, especially as I loved the book, but I’m very glad I watched it.
