One Weird Trick for Torpedoing Todd Blanche’s Hearing
Trump voters tell me again and again they’re disappointed with the president over one thing. It could complicate his hopes for a new attorney general.

Whether this story is apocryphal or not, how we shit on Lindsay Graham today matters. Other Quislings who are still alive and enabling Trump need to know how they will be remembered if they don’t turn on him immediately. This is the legacy that awaits them all.

The idea that "86 47" is not protected free speech is so insulting that a copy of the First Amendment in the National Archives spontaneously combusted upon the filing of this indictment.

Republicans can accuse Democrats of anything they want to, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

DeSantis rammed through a gerrymandered map that violates Florida’s own constitution — and leaked it to Fox News before the legislature even saw it. California and Virginia let voters decide. Florida deserves the same. DeSantis is shredding fair districts for partisan gain. #NoIllegalFloridaMaps

All the Republican propaganda citing polls on voter ID means nothing when it comes to the SAVE Act because the question asked in those polls is not what SAVE is. But that won’t stop them from lying by conflating the two with their dishonest coordinated talking point. It never does.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

The post ends with “ICE OUT NOW.” Below the text is a video still showing Keith Ellison at a podium, looking down as if reading prepared remarks, with two people standing behind him.
