When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.
Michael Flynn is a traitor and an insurrectionist. He’s a strong proponent of martial law. He should be in jail.
Michael Flynn is a traitor, and should have been stripped of his military retirement benefits. He has had extensive professional, financial, and personal interactions with Russian state-backed entities and officials. Again, he is a traitor.
The payoff to Flynn was a forerunner of what Trump wanted to do with his $1.8B slush fund to pay insurrectionists who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Republicans are pretending that shameful idea is “dead,” but they could reinstate it after Todd Blanche gets confirmed as AG. 4/4🧵

Trump has already said the GOP senators didn’t get anything beyond what Todd Blanche had already said.

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...
