Republicans will scream “Law enforcement needs qualified immunity or they won’t be able to do their jobs!” then turn around and let their special boy order the country’s top cops to give him $230 million as punishment for doing their jobs.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Saying this from behind a lectern in your formal capacity as an elected representative AFTER taking an oath to defend the Constitution should mean automatic expulsion from office.

I’ll never understand why an elected representative saying this in their official capacity (not at their church or a backyard BBQ) doesn’t automatically get them expelled from office for violation of their oath to the Constitution.

When you’re coaching defense against Andy Kotelnicki and he runs the backup qb into the game, you can be 99% sure it’s a run play. It’s like a cheat code… that Andy just gives you!

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Q: In 2018, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Two years later, there were 1,000 more steel workers and 75,000 fewer manufacturing workers in the sectors dependent on steel

PETER NAVARRO: I dispute those facts

Q: That's a Ball State study
