Do you think Trump coaches his witnesses before they testify before Congress? Treating elected officials with total disdain, insulting and attacking the questioner instead of answering the questions. Bringing that Trump asshole attitude he uses with the press to the Capitol.

You are correct. Hawley said tapped. What really happened was phone records were released.

If lardass is so concerned about violence in cities, Montgomery AL mass shooting over the weekend.

Montgomery is near the top of rankings for violent crime.

St. Louis is right up there as well.

Hegseth wasn’t just a Fox News pundit—he was booted from two vets groups for misconduct. Drunk at events, chanting “Kill All Muslims,” sexually pursuing staff, mismanaging funds. This was while he was still a major. And now he runs the Pentagon. Insane. #Hegseth #MilitaryJustice #Authoritarianism
