This + that CNN article… is there no end to the unfathomable evil that men can do?

Switching from the audiobook to the ebook because I can’t handle the narrator’s awful mispronunciation of places in the Philippines (“Bagyaw” for Baguio, Corregidor with the hard g, etc). It’s so easy to research if you’re a professional narrator.

Wasn’t Amal Clooney GMA’s lawyer though
