Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
It makes sense that the world’s stupidest person thinks he’s the smartest and says ridiculous, embarrassing things like this. And no, it’s not the dementia—he’s always been a clueless narsasist.

Bad jokes about Jeanine Pirro aside, this reflecting pool prosecution was despicable They claimed they had witnesses. They berated journalists who questioned them. They threatened to put an Olympian in jail-for ten years Now they admit what we knew all along. It was an incompetent Trump contractor
Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”@ryanjreilly.com · 5d agoBREAKING: The Trump administration has moved to drop its felony Reflecting Pool case against a former Olympic canoeist, admitting their allegations against David "Davey" Hearn don't hold water.
Will the Sunday shows do anything about the people who lied to their faces about this? Doug Burgum got indignant when Dana Bash doubted the 350-foot-long knifing story. Will CNN hold him accountable or just invite him back like nothing happened?

We could've made this montage of liars an hour long but you get the point
The claim was a lie. Trump had no evidence of vandals. He makes shit up all the time. That's the big story, the never-ending story, the story that needs to be reported over and over.

So basically an adversary could attack any blue state and Trump wont care because he doesn't see himself as the President of the "United States" Without a doubt the most worst president we've ever had. Anti-republic, anti-democratic, anti-constitutional just devoid of basic dignity
