Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

Donald Trump started a war with Iran that he said would end in about two weeks. That was more than 212 days ago. Since then, at least 19 American service members have died, and more than 800 have been injured. Dozens of US aircraft have been damaged or destroyed. See it all at AboutTwoWeeks.com.

Before the election, Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in a day. When pressed as to how he would do it, he said, elect me & find out. We found out. He had no plan. Let that be a lesson. If a politician running for office won't divulge their plans, they don't have any.

Welp. Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, saying it’s time to end the war. Congress introduced War Powers resolutions to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. Ashley Hinson: NO Jon Husted: NO Tom Tiffany: NO They had a chance to end it, but they voted against it.

Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate this morning, and a GOP Senator just grilled him about being at an Atlanta Hawks game in ATL, and accused him of perjury bc he denied this was the case. Turns out, it was an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland. These are the most unserious people ever.
