The story is actually worse than the headline. The ex-GOP official worked in Missouri with Ed Martin.

Pets don't judge people living with dementia. People could learn a lot from pets.

"Pets love You
Unconditionally
And never talk about you
Behind your back;
Pets are loyal,
They won't put you down
Or tell you what you lack.
Pets lessen loneliness
And give you purpose every day;
Pets keep you company,
They make you smile and play.
Pets help to reduce stress
And are good for sanity,
Pets can teach the human race
So much about humanity."

Larry Kudlow to Sen. Eric Schmitt: "You and I should get on a plane, go to Davos or go to the UN or go to the Democratic Socialists who make these Nobel Prize decisions -- I think they'd rather shoot themselves than give him the Peace Prize. He deserves the Peace Prize."

When Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature he didn't respond to the Nobel committee for two weeks. Dylan gave us the gift of his music and prose. The only thing Trump has given us is migraines.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant. He says tourism and travel to DC in recent months has devastated many restaurants in DC. So, yes, Trump is lying. Again.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "You can go and eat at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. Nobody has ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington DC. It's as hot as it can get."

Look at his eyes - pure panic.

These "federal agents" are like clumsy mall cops with guns. No training, no control, no clue.

It’s a miracle they haven’t shot each other yet.

They're a danger to the public.
