Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)

This idea that liberals control the commanding height of the country is a main theme in Project 2025. Just goes to show how vacuous they are, that they think they can replace one ‘commanding height’ with another.

Won’t be ready for three years - when he’s out of office. Just sayin’

I actually respect Gail more, just because of this post.

He’s an idiot, though. He thinks it’ll win him blacks.

It’s happened before, but in wiffle ball.

Loved it. Wish more countries would do this.

Agree, and ironic, coming from the most closeted demographic in the country.

The next administration should turn Trump‘s ballroom into a giant public restroom.

The next administration should make it a giant toilet.

This is by far the stupidest article I’ve seen this year.

That’s a ‘Shoot to Thrill’ for me, but I’ll afraid I’d drive my car off a cliff.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

There’s no other word for this: without due process, it’s murder.

Art Garfunky @chimpvsdog.bsky.social · 1d

The con here is that, yes, there is a both-sides quality to these issues, but it’s not 50-50.

Oh, it’s coming. In fact, the app will probably tell you at what time you’ll be getting a stomach ache.

The Dems may not have had 60 votes, but they added some very patient-friendly aspects to the ACA that R’s would never have considered. See: lifetime caps, cost provisions, tax breaks, annual out-of-pocket maxes, subsidies, and dependent coverage. In that sense, it’s very much a Dem victory.

Someone show this to Mike Johnson.

If the press really wants to regain credibility, they need to replace ‘poop’ with ‘Mike Johnson.’ “Sir, why did the President post that video of him Mike Johnsoning on the protesters?”
