The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

NEW: When Lindsey Graham was in USAF JAG he had a companion that was a student at UNC Asheville. That man is now a well known news anchor at midwest TV station. This is hardly breaking news, we all knew he was gay (and who cares). We'll have a longer story soon with more details.

You know that thing called the 10 Commandments which Speaker Johnson wants in every classroom in Louisiana?
One of them says, “You shall not bear false witness”.
How can that man call himself a Christian or look at himself in the mirror?

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly on CNN: "We have many ideas on how to bring down the cost of healthcare, to continue to do that, and we've already demonstrated it in the working families tax cut. We had real reforms to Medicaid that have brought down the cost and saved about $185b for taxpayers."

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.
The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.
