    Judd Legum is a sick and monstrous person who loves to target those who have different political beliefs from him! He’s an adult who acts like a child who doesn’t get his way!

    1. He worked for the Hilliary Presidential Campaign. He can’t very self aware what is the big picture. Common sense likely eludes him.

  2. Judd — we overlapped briefly at CAP in 2004. I would like to give some financial support for the amazing and essential work you are doing at Popular Information.
