There's no point to even shout "liar, liar" anymore. They don't have any pants left to be on fire. They don't have any crotches to be on fire. They are ash and yet they persist in lying to SCOTUS.

The same people that couldn't let Benghazi go and screamed until their throat bled about Hillary's security 'issues', now say "No, an unsecured server with a journalist on the thread isn't an embarrassment."

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake

Ratcliffe: No

Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Trump and Musk are ransacking and looting your Social Security piggy bank to fund massive tax breaks. $2.7 trillion isn’t a trust fund to feed greedy billionaires—it’s YOUR retirement.

Wake up before they rob us blind.
