🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I’m very interested to see what happens with the iPhone Duo. There are going to be so so so many new weird UI and UX issues. Especially after 20 years of iPhone industrial design barely changing. So many apps out there who need a very different UI for this form factor, screens, etc.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

One easy way to tell they're not actually "the most transparent administration in history" is that this is the first time in five decades that the president and vice president didn't have their taxes audited and released to the public.
