You’re probably going to have to explain it with stick figures
Jim, let me explain this to you in terms clearer than young men being abused, right under your nose.
You were in contact with the President and other architects of January 6th. Of course your phone records were part of the investigation. 😒

And if the target is a particularly smelly often napping individual, we should have more than enough help
People who tell you, "One person can't make much of a difference!," has clearly never been f*cked with all day... by one...lone..determined..house fly...on a hot July afternoon...when all you want to do was nap for a little bit.
Oh...we're making a difference. We're definitely..making a difference.

A few days ago she was insisting she wasn’t a lawyer and couldn’t comment on legal matters. Is there a new drive-thru law school in DC?
LEAVITT: They are encouraging service members not to follow lawful orders!
REPORTER: They're talking about illegal orders
LEAVITT: They're suggesting the president has given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order given is lawful.

Family values. Of a crime family
Home invasions.
Child sex crimes.
Homicide.
Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.
The GOP isn't the party of law and order.
They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Well, he’s on ice. So I guess he’s not entirely wrong
"I'm ICE, boys." Hubris and arrogance, anyone?
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Men, let’s all go tell the women in our lives, “quiet, piggy.” You first
I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase..
Reporter: If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not—
Trump: QUIET! QUIET!

The historical record is crystal clear when it comes to what happens to the economy when the Republicans are in charge
I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.
