Local news fact-bombed-checked Schmitt-head’s entire “gotcha” in one sentence: “Top corner, Section 109, Row 1.” Except that seat doesn’t exist in Atlanta. 🤡 Wrong arena. Wrong team. Wrong game. Schmitt didn’t catch Jack Smith in a lie. He caught himself in a nonexistent seat.🪑💀🤦😵‍💫🇨🇦

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

Schmitt: "Did you attend a Hawks game on February 3rd?" Smith: "That is incorrect. I was in Hollywood attending a dinner gathering at the home of actor Ethan Hawke." Schmitt: "AHA! WE GOT YOU!"

You can also ask, “Who had the most impeachments?” and “Who was impeached for incitement of insurrection?” You’ll get your answers. 😂 They’re rushing to change what the system says. Oh boy, America’s “super intelligence” is so woke it even says climate change is real. Hahahaha.

It tries to dodge the question, but then references a letter claiming he’s mentioned 38,000 times. Ask, “On January 6th, was there an insurrection?” You don’t get much. Then ask, “Did the insurrectionists hurt police officers?” And you’ll get your answer.

Most experts agree: diesel export ban MAY initially lower prices in SOME areas of the US, the south and midwest. But long term would backfire both in our national security (including alliances) and in price. Global Diesel prices would eventually skyrocket as a result and those prices would hit us
