I heard they screened SAVING PRIVATE RYAN at the White House and Trump cried over all those poor soldiers who sacrificed their lives defending Normandy Beach.

Also, I totally called this turn for her around the middle of last year.

She is a grifter through and through.

I used to troll Brenda quite a bit on the old site. She tried to send her army of incels after me a few times.

She's handsome as an ox but half as smart.

This administration leans heavily on blonde women whose only response to substantive questions/valid criticism ranges from, "WELL, I NEVER!" to "HOW DARE YOU!"

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

This is the GOP. No solutions. No thought to policy.

Just ripping rights away from citizens while they sit around on our dime, make cringeworthy jokes, and then congratulate themselves for how clever and funny they are.

Cruz: I hope I test negative for stupid

Kennedy: I talk in the book about the tattoo of the backstreet boys on your back.

Cruz: Look, I can't help that you don't want to reach young people. I think young people are the future

Bondi: That would be on VP Vance's playlist

There's a legitimate chance he genuinely doesn't remember who Maxwell is here.

The man has had so many strokes at this point, his brain is complete swiss cheese.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

Stephen Miller: "If you can't see that since we've taken office, there's been an organized, systemitized campaign to delegitimatize, dehumanize, threaten, impede, obstruct, and physically assault ICE officers in their duties, then I can't persuade you of it."

Travis, I get that you're not a bright guy, but you don't get to ignore the Constitution because you want to accomplish a policy goal.

Otherwise the Constitution is meaningless.
