holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

SCHIFF: When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won? CANDEUB: Um. Trump was certified as winner S: Did he in fact win? C: He was certified S: Do you have some doubt about if he won? C: I have no doubt he was certified S: When did it become so difficult to answer such a simple question?
I am so tired of this asshole and his supporters shitting on my city and state. I never considered those who lived in "red areas" to be my enemy. Until they came here and started murdering us. And then telling we get what we deserve.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Also none of the inflation we experienced was “high”. 🙄
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Warsh repeatedly mentions "5-plus years of high inflation" (in other words, blame it on Biden!)
you know, at least U.S. business journalism spent a lot of time making it very clear this IPO was a fraudulent lie only made possible because the country is too corrupt to have functional regulators

Truly absurd headline. And most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.
"Even if I thought that a ground war would be necessary to undo the damage that [Donald Trump] did ... He can't be the one running it. He has no idea what he's doing. He'll change his mind 3 times a day. He says things that make no sense. He can't think. His brain is scrambled."
"[Donald Trump's] a man who doesn't think. He's a man who acts on impulse. He's a man who acts on what he thinks in the moment serves him the best, gets him the most attention, and gives him a feeling of power. And that's why he did this. There's no other reason."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoOSSOFF: When you declared victory, were those accurate statements?

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber
