    You know things are bad when you read this tweet are not certain which dystopian crisis currently happening is the one he is referring to. Coronavirus? Foreign election interference? A fascist President? Massive unemployment? Brain eating amoeba in Florida?

    The number one tell is that she looks him in the eyes when she speaks to him, meanwhile he has not looked directly at her once. He’s afraid to even look her in the eyes. Incredibly weak body language from him.

    So, we’re sending troops to protect the Saudi’s oil supply but taking troops away from protecting the lives of our Kurdish allies. In what universe does any of this make sense besides an extremely corrupt one?

    Having lived in Australia as a child, I realized how strange it is that Americans are trained to believe “America is the greatest country in the world” - even though most Americans don’t even own passports or travel internationally. We’re not able to review ourselves objectively.

    I just have to say that Nancy Pelosi is my new hero. You don’t give in to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, or else they learn they can just do that every time to get their way. She’s a mother - she knows how to deal with this baby-man. Hats off to Nancy Pelosi.

    Oh man the “but wait times” argument from the right really pisses me off. We wait here too! Only we pay out the ass for it. I called my baby’s Pediatrician the other week to get a regular check up appointment- soonest appointment - 4 weeks out!!

    Clint, this is the message the alt-right has been pushing. Are you at all concerned that this is in part because White Supremacists have infiltrated & recruited law enforcement? This seems like a disinformation campaign - maybe with Russian assistance too? pbs.org/newshour/amp/n…

    None of them were in DC working and none of them were holding townhalls in their home districts. They were literally on a tax payer funded PAID vacation for 8 weeks.

    Remember when the Fox News went nuts because Nancy Pelosi ate ice cream when people were struggling during the pandemic? But radio silence from Fox News now. Just look at the level of Marie Antoinette shit this administration is doing while they deliberately starve children.

    I was handed a voting guide pamphlet, that of course had all Republicans listed on it, the last time I stepped foot in one of these mega-churches - 15 years ago. Many churches like this have been doing this for years. Now you know why we often use the phrase ‘Christo-Fascists’.

    Barr was forced to admit, by Eric Swalwell I believe, that a pardon in exchange for lying to prosecutors was a crime. And in the case of Roger Stone, he was obviously pardoned in exchange for lying to Congress and prosecutors. Is Barr himself criminally liable?
