The GOP never seems to know the details of the biggest stories out there. Don't go on network talk shows if you haven't read the papers.

The Caribbean incident is a very familiar story. Democrats like Jim Himes tell you what they actually saw, while Republicans like Tom Cotton tell you what they want you to think they saw.
Just like Jan 6th.
So now show us all the video so we can see it for ourselves.

The rest of the press looks cowardly when it stands there silently while Trump repeatedly insults female reporters.
In less than 2 weeks, Trump has called one female reporter “piggy,” another female reporter “ugly“ and a third female reporter “stupid.”
All decent Americans are disgusted by this.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
