Junior says he doesn’t watch Fox anymore because “it is so ridiculous” how biased they are against his dad, he complains they barely ever invite him on now, and “they’re just about clickbait.” (I did not speed this up).

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”

The reason why Trump can’t simply say “no” when asked if he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is he needs her to continue to cover for him. Giving her hope for a pardon guarantees she will keep her mouth shut about what she knows.

It’s amazing how often right-wing “independent journalists” become the story at whatever event they are “covering.”

So all we had to do to keep Republicans from showing up to Congress was to have the 218th signer of the Epstein petition show up to be sworn in?

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

McGovern was attempting to ask why Republicans refuse to swear in Adelita Grijalva leaving her district without representation for 7 months, but Granny wasn’t having it.
