Or the fact that it was Biden's DOJ that oversaw the prosecution of **Bob Menendez**—or launched the investigation of Eric Adams! None of that mattered. People screaming about the politicization of the DOJ under Biden continued screaming the same thing.

HOLY PA-01 SCOOP IN POLITICO!! Brian Fitzpatrick's awful ads seem to show a bunch of news headlines. But those deceptive quotes didn't come from actual news reports - they were written by one of his wedding guests, a felon who was once on the payroll of his own campaign, who self-published them!

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

Correct. A LOT of people deluded themselves into thinking that Trump's mass deportation pledge was "round up the criminals and gangbangers Biden let in," which was, of course, a completely false narrative. And now people who supported it because they believed in that goal have realized what's up.

DOD has released the name of the SEAL Team 6 operation in Nigeria last spring where they killed an ISIS-West Africa emir, and it is “Galavinic Cobra” It appears that “galavinic” is not a real word, but is an occasionally recurring misspelling of “galvanic” (with some instances on old gun forums)

There is a cottage industry on that other site of people in official government legal jobs affirmatively misstating or misrepresenting what rulings are about and then expressing surprise that anyone could possibly disagree. Just the latest example—from the Solicitor General of Iowa:
“Can President Trump use lawful authority granted by Congress to deport illegal aliens to third countries? The Supreme Court has stayed an order saying no twice, now stayed a permanent injunction for a third time. Oddly, 6-3 despite a similar posture to the Missouri First map”

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.
