Yep. Republicans basically vowed to never hold their own responsible again, and here we are.

What a fucking moron. "Everyday Americans" is a republican talking point equivalent to "real Americans". It's used as a way to say coastal Americans aren't real Americans. He should be saying that democrats are fighting for ALL Americans, including the ones Trump is neglecting.

As an IT nerd, it really isn't. I'm more likely to be listening to the film scores of TMP era Trek or the first Independence Day, if I'm not listening to 70s-80s rock.

Wait, did he do this again? Could have sworn this came up during Trump's first term.

This reeks of, "We can't be held responsible for where Qatar sends people (ICE detainees) once they're on sovereign Qatari soil (the air base that we built specifically for Qatar to ship ICE detainees out of the country)"

Do they have someone else lined up to be the big, bad, boogie man for the day when Soros passes away?

Rule 3 in the GOP playbook is pretend you don't know someone's name/know how to pronounce it.

What if they name the nastiest bathroom on campus after him? Does that count?

If it took until now to call him out, his family must not have been paying attention. Dude's been showing his whole ass to the entire world for almost a decade.

I've seen the videos of high school Stephen Miller. He seemed to always be this way.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.
