Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.
“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

At least Trump is coming back to DC early from his golf trip to Palm Beach so he can attend a football game while pressuring them to name the stadium after him.
He’s always working hard to improve our lives.

Recently spent several nights at a hotel that used to really be something in the day, but now kind of a fading shadow of itself, run by a skeleton crew.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:
Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.
Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.
