With any luck, this over-the-top idiotic blunder should be the tipping point. Like the Joe McCarthy “have you no decency?” moment. The lengths they will go to attack decent true patriots to protect and defend a treasonous child rapist. If there’s a hell….

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.

For the sake of elected Ds, Jeffries best not be promising expansive oversight plans only to do nothing & hope no one notices. WE WILL NOTICE!!! If Ds win control only to pull another Merrick Garland (do nothing that could remotely look "political"), then they're toast. apnews.com/article/hous...

House Democrats plan vast oversight of Trump administration. Impeachment is an option
House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda if the party sweeps control in the November elections.

$20 million, Wow!! 🙁 $20M is just 0.3% of Cuban's net worth. He loses that amount in his couch. Shark Tank is equivalent to The Apprentice: making rich people into well-known celebrities. And Cuban may use STank like Trump did The Apprentice and run for POTUS. moneywise.com/investing/in...
