A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Maybe he should look at the pics in the Epstein Files, they are much more factual.

🚨EXCLUSIVE:

Federal judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court has got to do a better job of explaining emergency rulings, with frequent decisions in favor of Trump at least appearing to validate harsh criticism of the judiciary at a time of rising threats:

In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases

Ten judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court needs to explain its rulings better, with some urging Chief Justice John Roberts to do more to defend the judiciary against external criticism.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists.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

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for Trump to direct his attorney general to indict whoever he says?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: I think it's appropriate for Comey to answer for his conduct. I think our DOJ in the hands of Biden crossed every line

W: Biden never publicly called for Trump to be indicted

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

-Strength has nothing to do with bulging muscles, and everything to do with proud, beating hearts.
-Strength is not measured in tough talk, but in raging compassion.
-Strength is not measured by how many people you step on, but by how many you lift up.

THEY are weak. WE are woke.

NEVER forget it.

TRUE STRENGTH

A tribute to the woke ...
