Great job C-Span. Allow people to ask questions but don't give them a chance to follow up after the answer. Then politicians can lie and lazy viewers will believe it rather than read the documents.

Because the caller might have said, "I'm looking at them right now and it's 0.4%."

We'll never know.

Absolutely no spine whatsoever and every time he does one of these interviews he has the look of a hostage being forced to read a list of demands on camera.

For a grown man to call a proposal "the one big beautiful bill" is so embarrassing. We're an international joke.

The problem is that he can say whatever he wants & conspiracy theorists will invent a scenario that fits his false narrative.

The justification for this one will be blah, blah, blah, deep state, rogue rhinos, and blah, blah Soros.

Worst part is the conspiracy theorists now work at the Capitol.

They do but if protests don't get violent they most likely have a plan to stage violent acts. A pipe bomb explodes at a store front, masked men pretend to attack ice agents, etc.

They're all in on project 2025 so they need a reason and will certainly manufacture one if they have to. It's their M.O.

Speaking of flipping scripts I really wish people would stop using the term antifa. Maga has made the term sound like the boogeyman.

Take it back & say what it is. They're antifascist, they're opposed to fascism.

Make the other side say they support fascism by opposing them.

She doesn't have to vote in 26' in order for Republicans(who support jihadis and run cover for pedophiles) to win the election. Trump already made that known to Republican voters.

Her non-vote is as meaningless as the words she regurgitates on social media.

And when I say we can't afford them I mean ALL of them. Cable is $230 per month for a basic package. We can't afford all of the streaming channels on top. Have to miss games now.

The middle class was crucial in building up professional sports leagues and helping the owners and most of the players become wealthy.

They've rewarded us by pricing us out of stadiums and moving their games from cable channels we pay for to streaming services we can't afford.

The Mayor cleared a path so she didn't use photos of peaceful protestors as her false proof that antifa is attacking DHS.

She's mad because her planned stunt couldn't come to fruition.

He can't use it to make money or to gain more power so it's not even a blip on his radar.

Also he has dementia so if you talk about the Yankees he'll probably think you're talking civil war.

His days revolve around hiding the Epstein files so no one sees he trafficked minors out of mar-a-lago.

"new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside, laying the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere or harvest moisture from desert environments."

Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to discovery that could trap C02 and bring water to deserts

The Nobel committee said that the three laureates “have developed a new form of molecular architecture.”

Could've told him Habeus Corpus is a metal band that wrote a song critical of his administration and he would've believed it.

People voted for him, seriously.

DHS is condoning the idea that peaceful protesters should be met with violence if they get in the way. No more arrests, just hurt them is the policy.

It comes directly from the top.

At least Cuomo pointed that out because if he didn't he would've just allowed every single one of his listeners to be misinformed and lied to.

What? He didn't point that out? I'm shocked! 😒

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

They never stopped loving us. It's Trump, his sycophants, and his movement they hate.

Those people will wear their support for authoritarianism on their chest like a scarlet letter and it will follow them everywhere they go for the rest of their lives.

It can't be a bribe because given his position that would be too hard to hide.

Someone warned him, "shut up or this is coming out about you"

It's the most likely conclusion, he's compromised.

ScottD @scott53.bsky.social · 4d

It has to be some kind of kompromat thing. There's a reason why he chose all of these moronic TV personalities and podcasters to be part of the government.

Why else would Bongino so abruptly go silent? He said he saw things that will keep him up at night, he was having a public meltdown over it.
