[Haydi Zulfei]

Anna Stetsenko used to be here known to CHAT people. Every now and then she
offers good pieces , says this couple of days before that she's going to
Occasio-Cortez's Dem Speech invites others to join . One could say Anna is
Rep. for one thing and Trump Rep. for another : "leave this country ; back
home where you were born" ; Irony of the civil rights ! Rep of the State
citizens should be endorsed not by the public law but by the Law in Person
?!
