lol, the fuck?

.@jaketapper: "One doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt a coup."

lol

And this dude, I don't know what his deal really is, and don't really care, but at the very least this indicates he's the rare person in this whole imbroglio who has been getting good advice, legal or otherwise:

We completely disavow groups like the Oath Keepers and in no way condone their hateful ideology.

Why the fuck is Louis DeJoy still at the Post Office?

Because of how hard it is to remove him

It was my understanding that excuse no longer holds water as they actually have the votes now to remove him. Instead Biden’s wife did a photo-op with him to introduce the Nancy Reagan stamp.

picked by governors right? it’s not a position on par w a Justice obv, but they really got a special type of guy in there huh

The votes on the USPS board, that is.

In case you wanted to quote today’s hearing

https://www.npr.org/2022/07/12/1111123258/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript?fbclid=IwAR0QIpSYYFGSNPibb64GonmPfSlbv_CQDnDVlU-jFCUEwAtAuwmMu_DVA58

A keeper re: the Oath Keepers: "I think we need to quit mincing words and just talk about truths, and what it was going to be was an armed revolution. I mean, people died that day. Law enforcement officers died this day. There was a gallows set up in front of the Capitol. This could have been the spark that started a new civil war, and no one would have won there. That would have been good for no one."

Good for no one but the ratings, amirite?

Not quite that simple, though Biden did make strategic nominees that could make it eventually happen. But he can't do it himself

Love voting for her every two years!

Omar was pretty rocky on twitter at first, but she's gotten pretty good.

the replies have stayed the same tho

holy shit, I think they might actually be going with my butt dial defense!!

Newsmax saying Trump pulled a Giuliani - that he buttdialed the J6 witness. Sure.

— Don Lewis (@DonLew87) July 13, 2022

Newsmax went on to report they were the finest buttocks in the world.

I didn't think you could butt dial with a Jitterbug

Dialed in the Butt by My Own Butt

if he butt dialed the witness, how did the witness know who it was?

did it show up on their IPhone as "Donnie J Felony"?

oh wait obv Donnie doesn't know how to spoof his number

Is it getting real, or am I over optimistic?

Money well spent.

Am told by a Fetterman adviser that the Snooki Cameo that they put out to troll Dr. Oz cost the campaign $393.75

That is genius

It's a sad state of things when "good at twitter" is a qualification for political candidate.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/07/14/texas-sues-biden-emergency-abortion/

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued the Biden administration over federal rules that require abortions be provided in medical emergencies in order to save the life of the mother, even in states with near-total bans.

I'll bet Truman would've done some serious trolling of Stalin if he had twitter

"pretty strong words from a keyboard warrior whose middle name is just a letter"

oh wait, that's Stalin trolling Truman

It's a sad state of things when "good at twitter" is a qualification for political candidate.

No way, dude! It's just modern oration! It doesn't mean someone has good policies or will be a good custodian of their office, it's just a tool in the toolbox.

"Sir, your are no John F. Kennedy.."

etc.

neither are your!

i'm reading master of the senate right now and if you think lbj would not have been good at twitter you're out of your mind.

Nixon Twitter meltdowns would have been fun

lbj might've gotten in trouble for an accidental dick pic

"My haters are my motivators"

"somehow, my last 18 months of Presidential tweets got deleted by my secretary"

LBJ is on social media, talking about his bunghole

@realdonaldtrump couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel

lbj might've gotten in trouble for an accidental dick pic

Jumbo would have its own official Twitter account.

Breaking News: Senator Joe Manchin said he wouldn’t support funding for climate programs or raising taxes on the wealthy, a major blow for the Biden agenda. https://t.co/WgMU7KPtn6
