I miss America, tired of name calling, the enormous amount of disinformation, lack of leaders we can look up to. What happened to basic integrity? Why is lying ok? And the hatred, “Hate Never Made a Nation Great”. Put country before party, listen, learn.

What!! I thought deportation of immigrants to that El Salvadoran prison camp had been banned. ICE has been keeping this quite a secret. As we learned from that first group of deportees, by far, most had not committed any crime, beyond being in country illegally - not grounds for such treatment.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Jack Smith Defends Trump Charges as Senator’s Perjury Claim Falters

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜

A proper chairman would make Schmitt apologize & retract his knowingly false allegations but they won't because they got their short viral moment that the right will put out on blast. This is why there needs to be reforms & actual consequences for Senators who do this kind of garbage.

He deserves to be banished from the hearing! A sitting US Senator maligned and lied about Smith and called him a dirtbag. That demends more than an apology. Schmitt should be ejected and not allowed back into the hearing. When did Congress stop believing in accountability?
