US President Donald Trump has argued that if “people slightly to the right” attempted to occupy a portion of a city – just like protesters against police brutality did in Seattle – they would have been dealt with swiftly. “Could you imagine if people just even slightly to the right tried to take over Seattle, they’d have machine guns out to get them,” Trump said as […]
Earlier this year, a Facebook post spread like wildfire through the Texas film community. It was the account of a young actress, alleging that Adam Donaghey, a rising producer in the region, had raped her when she was 16.
