Did Todd Blanche pull the wool over the eyes of Tillis and Cornyn? Or did they put on a dog and pony show of acting like they were fighting for some “concessions”?

Is Todd Blanche’s nomination back on track after he allegedly “rescinded” the $1.8 billion slush fund & limited the tax immunity provision in the “settlement agreement” in Trump’s collusion w/the IRS & Treasury Dept.? There's no enforceability to what Blanche has done: youtu.be/Em09xu3UGxQ?...

The lie lasted longer than the installation.

I feel this. I worked 18 hour days trying to help these folks do their jobs during COVID. And I still feel like I wasn’t doing near as much as them.

So, if the president posts a picture of “86 47” he saw, is that a threat to himself? Does Secret Service have to put him on suicide watch? Does the FBI put surveillance teams on him? Does the Dept of Injustice open a case? Asking for James Comey.

Friday night meme dump.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

Right-wing justice Samuel Alito complains that telemedicine abortion providers are undermining Dobbs and red-state bans. To which Dr. Angel Foster and her allies at The MAP respond: “Yeah, exactly.”

BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.

They subpoenaed him. Leaked his diaries. Said they wanted him in a cell. Dr. Fauci walked in anyway, looked Rand Paul in the eye, and said he had an “unhinged obsession” with him. And then refused to fall into the MAGA propaganda trap. Good.

Fauci Just Humiliated Rand Paul In Front Of The Entire World

Five years led to this. Trump’s Supreme Court threat died in silence. Comey called it revenge. A teachers union froze NVIDIA cold.
