    In court, the judge would have said "asked and answered" about something she said 23 years ago. But the deep south senator wanted to make sure he got the words feminist and marxist into the record. Senator Whitehouse created a laugh when he stepped in:
    "U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse... quipped that perhaps the article was written when the Louisiana republican was still a Democrat, suggesting that people change over time, raising Kennedy’s ire."

    “Anyone that puts the word ‘insurrectionist,’ calls President Trump an insurrectionist, and calls any of us an insurrectionist is a liar, and you do not deserve the power that you possess,”
    - MTG

    Trump lies that Jan. 6 was ‘an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi’

    “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi,” Trump said.

    Facts First: This claim is complete fiction – an abject lie. Pelosi did not cause a mob of pro-Trump supporters inspired by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election to storm the Capitol.

    Some of the rioters made threatening statements about Pelosi or shouted that they were looking to find her. Their anger at Pelosi does not make her responsible for their illegal conduct.

    Pelosi spokesperson Aaron Bennett told CNN on Thursday: “No matter what unhinged lies Trump spews about the insurrection he instigated, as numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed, Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination.”

    Stefanik is really showing what a Brown Shirt she would be in a Trump Dictatorship where he, and only he decides what's legal.

    stefanik also regurgitated trump's constant talking point about a president being able to declassify documents at any time ("even by thinking it").

    Here is the full text of the Presidential Records Act. Seems it mostly dictates what the Archivist can and can't do. And when the President is mentioned it seems to require the Attorney General, the Assistant AG, or the Counsel to the President to be involved. I am not a lawyer nor political historian, but I am not seeing any mention of of declassifying records. Am I missing it or is there some other PRA he is referring to?

    I need to talk about the Democrats for a second

    Idk how they got my phone number, but they have been bombarding me with calls and campaign texts the last couple weeks from all these random candidates and it’s getting on my fcking nerves

    calling me 2-3x/day…several different candidates texting me every morning

    it’s driving me crazy

    I never signed up for something or opted into anything

    and they’re persistent on the phone the few times I’ve answered…I have to hang up before I cuss somebody out

    I’M NOT INTERESTED :mad::mad:

    I donated to Biden and other democrats in the last election and will probably do so again but the texts, the calls and emails are really annoying and for the most part I delete them as soon as I see them.

    the female version of Ted Cruz / Josh Hawley makes another false claim



    Crenshaw on Stefanik’s claim she could decertify election if VP: ‘Totally wrong’
    Reacting to her comment in an interview on CNN, Crenshaw denounced Stefanik’s snub of former Vice President Mike Pence, arguing the position does not have the ability to decertify an election.

    I missed the Lombardi trophy presentation. So
    Did Travis Kelsi and Taylor Swift endorse Biden?;)

    Also noted the irony of a conspiracy that the democrats were rigging the Super Bowl in favor a team from Missouri over the San Francisco team. I’m expecting Nancy Pelosi to have a press conference how they had this game won until the rules were changed and the Chiefs had these dumps. BIG Dumps! That cost them the game.

    Why is it basically crickets regarding Trump saying he’d send red state national guard into blue states? That’s arguably 1 of the worst things he’s said

    Just guessing here: Nobody Blue People takes him seriously yet (which scares the hell out of me), but I fully believe he'll do all of the horrible things he has promised to if/once he's elected again.

    Not everybody in uniform is a Trumpy Naty Guard or Active Duty Military Person, but many are, so this is a recipe for disaster.
