Me: Siri, what is stolen valor? Siri: Stolen valor is the act of lying about military service, ranks, or medals to gain respect, attention, or material benefits.

We can all blame Oprah for platforming this con. 
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayDr Oz: "This is corruption on the underlying system ... when everyone is doing it, that's a real pathology. Bc if you're not part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you & you know I'm lying & I know that you know that I'm lying, & on & on & on, that's how countries collapse."
Bookmark this for when it comes back and bites Cornyn right in the ass. 
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
And today Trump’s personal attorney, his consigliere, will be confirmed as AG. The Epstein victims will never have the justice they so deserve.
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayWhitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases
David Hearn could have gone to prison because Trump could not admit, like an adult, that his contractor was the one who caused damage to the reflecting pool. And Jeanine Pirro, like the bootlicker she is, went along with it. Hearn should sue the crap out of them.

Today is the August 3rd Mitch McConnell deadline. Does anyone know what happens if today passes and we still have no word on whether he is dead or alive? 
I don’t like or agree with what you said so therefore you’re fake news.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
This morning all everyone is talking about is Todd Blanche‘s sham deal to get confirmed. No one is talking about the bigger story - DONALD TRUMP’S ACCOUNTS BEING CLOSED BY CAPITOL ONE FOR MONEY LAUNDERING! 
Trump posted this image depicting himself in an Elvis-style jumpsuit. Elvis died on August 16, 1977. Just saying. 🤞🏼
This isn't really a Dana Bash problem. It's a CNN problem, and a mainstream media over-all problem. What is the point in platforming RFK Jr.? What will the public learn, other than the facts that he's a liar (which we already know) and that CNN disrespects its audience by giving him a megaphone?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?

I cannot believe the hit job on Dr. Anthony Fauci. It’s infuriating. 
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoSen. Moreno claims Fauci "killed seniors" and calls him a "smug SOB"
Anyone who is still triggered by having to suspend their gym membership for a few months during the Covid pandemic as millions of Americans died, is a f*cking loser. 
We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.
Secret Service agents are trained to take bullets for a president but not this shit
