She really does. Immediately following her "loss" she relaxed her look and her style and it was so much more appealing than the Iron Lady hair. We missed out on a great president bc = misogyny

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

They think post-birth abortions are real too. And that schools are operating on their children to change their genders. And that immigrants are eating cats and dogs. And that Trump was chosen by God.

They are the most credulous morons in history.

@jaketapper.bsky.social where you at 😐

They're not even trying to hide how decrepit and disoriented this codger is. Where's your outrage? Or are you still trying to find fault with Joe?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

You can rest assured that if there were even one significant Democrat in the Epstein financial documents or other papers Trump would be ordering them broadcast over all networks.

What is stopping these Senators, when asked by someone like Bondi if they are antifa, from saying, "yes, I am antifascist. Are you saying you are pro-fascism?"
