Every JD Vance interview:

REPORTER: The president literally declared war on Democrats to military leaders. Do you agree?

JD VANCE: Umm haha what I DISAGREE with is Chuck Schumer telling the American people they have to give their cars over to immigrants. But you wont report it!

JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.

Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.

Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

Excluding ...MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948), what's the best Abbott and Costello horror comedy?

You can include HOLD THAT GHOST (1941), even tho it's not part of their 1948-1955 horror cycle (and there's no ghost).

#FilmSky

Bud and Lou in HOLD THAT GHOST (1941) which, as stated, has no actual ghost.
