I really need people who call Biden genocide Joe to understand that the deal that Trump just made was Biden‘s deal. But Trump and BB worked together so that Bebe wouldn’t agree to it under Biden.

It’s about time folks started addressing Republicans about the policies they support/voted for. You know, instead of just complaining about Democrats.
More please!

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Jamie Gertz was in a several of my favorite teen movies at that time, so I was also geeked by her.

Oh, I was proper infatuated with him!! And his resemblance to the Doors frontman had me (a black child) asking my parents for The Doors album (on vinyl) and playing it incessantly for the entire summer break. My mom thought I was weird.

While I agree with your sentiment here, please step outside of being a white woman for a moment.
This black woman has the power of the federal government targeting her. For doing her job, as a black woman. Happened to have prosecuted a case against him. She’s would not be wrong to be worried.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

Have you ever noticed that old clothes online sometimes look better than old clothes in your closet?

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.
