Genuinely, when you send someone to the United States Senate as submoronic, gibbering and ridiculous as Tommy Tuberville, your statehood should be suspended. At this point there should be 49 United States and the Alabama Territory. Followed by a second, more committed attempt at Reconstruction.

State of Georgia emailed the November election ballot yesterday. Two points: 1) The email referred to 'June election'. Embarrassing 2) The ballots have a QR code at the top. Doesn't seem very anonymous to me.....

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose: To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.

Trump's lawyers revived dormant lawsuits against Capital One for closing Trump Org accounts in 2021 for 'political reasons' This led to the bank stating that the accounts were closed due to activity indicative of money laundering. Nobody could tell POTUS 'hey, let's let this one go'?

Is Fauci a genius? No. But: 1) Who was in charge of the virus response in 2020? 2) Why goes GOP bring this up now? 3) Did Fauci's recommendations differ from those of health dept in other countries? 4) The "1% mortality" that the GOP says they are comfortable with would be 3m dead (not 1.1m)
