That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

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."

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Nicki Minaj is not a US citizen. She’s a green card holder. Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender. Her brother, Jelani Maraj, was convicted of repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. So, of course, she’s MAGA.

Michael and Barbara Shetterly lost their 23-year-old son Matthew to an overdose in 2014. His heart was donated to Erv Basdon. Two years later, they met him and listened through a stethoscope as their son’s heart continued beating inside another man. ❤️‍🩹 🥹😭

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Panel 2: closer up, the group of bottom feeders are holding red solo cups and chatting with each other. Among the group is a tiger prawn, who thinks to himself, “I needed this…”

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”
