“He knows that in the whole history of the race of men no single great and high and beneficent thing was ever done for the souls and bodies, the hearts and the brains, of the children of this world, but a Mugwump started it and Mugwumps carried it to victory. And their names are the stateliest in history: Washington, Garrison, Galileo, Luther, Christ. Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world—and never will.” Mark Twain, The Complete Essays of Mark Twain

Trump: “I could’ve done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could’ve done very, very bad things to Joe Biden. I could’ve done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama… I can do whatever I want, if I want.”

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

Amid all the anxiety and seriousness of the moment - the biggest, unexpected oasis of joy for me, has been witnessing the Texas Senate race and especially the dynamic between Trump and Paxton. It's hilarious. Trump keeps insulting him or putting forth left-handed compliments. Paxton keeps complaining about not controlling his own campaign. Paxton now is starting to make excuses in advance! We heard Paxton on a hot mike dissing Trump - how great was that!? We've seen Paxton's wife talking about voting GOP without referencing him - you can't make this up! We've had a panicky GOP force Trump to open his tight as a clam wallet in Texas - big time. And Paxton being afraid to debate. I don't blame him. Of course, we have Talarico calmly benefiting. And we have Trump 100% on the hook for Texas if it falters - it will be ALL on him. I'm even smiling as I type this.

.@jordanklepper sits down with a J6 insurrectionist demanding a payout for being...the victim?

DOOCY: Is the plague in Russia a bioweapon? TRUMP: We don't think so. If you listen to them, it's under control DOOCY: We've heard this before during your first term. Are you getting the same vibe? TRUMP: They do say they have it very much under control

imagine a socialist "mispeaking" like this? oh wait... i said something far less damaging than this in 2019 & its currently the only gop midterm strategy. but i'm sure dems who leaned into the concern trolling by the gop, won't make an equal fuss abt the president!

Abdul El-Sayed is tapping into Flock anxieties with a new "creepy" attack ad against Mike Rogers. How will it land with voters? 🎧 Playbook Pod: politi.co/3UdHn0D

There's an Instagram page of a woman with 275,000 followers she says she's a 'journalist' and she relies on donations from her followers to do her 'work'. She follows 42 people like Taylor Swift. Her work is aggregating everybody's actual work and putting titles on them This makes me hopping mad. She came out of nowhere. How about I just ask you for donations for the actual work I do everyday? Let's try that. Grrrrrrr. Eyewitness 📹 To Support My Work: venmo.com/u/sandi-bachom paypal.me/sandibachom

Happy ten year anniversary to this meeting between Peter Thiel, the Russian UN Ambassador, and infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. On the same day, the Access Hollywood tape came out, DHS warned of Russian interference, and Wikileaks began releasing Podesta’s emails.

NEWS: Companies backed by Don Jr. and Eric Trump have pocketed more than $6 billion in Pentagon contracts since the brothers bought in, and some had never won a federal contract until a Trump son showed up. Daddy hands out the deals and the sons cash the checks because the Trump family has turned the presidency and this illegal war into a family business.

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

Todd Blanche said he wasn’t going to release torture and death. Which means he’s seen those tapes. How craven do you have to be?

A giant golden statue depicting a naked Donald Trump has gone on display inside one of the European Parliament’s buildings. The 8.5ft-tall sculpture, named Orange Plague, shows the nude US president holding justice scales and a long golf club with a golf ball made to look like the world ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Donald Trump is the most disrespected, ridiculed and laughed at human on the planet!!

Susan Collins thinks this is Meals on Wheels

Just Sayin'...

No one believes this. Mike Rogers thought tariffs were a fantastic idea until he was losing to Abdul.

I deleted a post responding to an @AbdulElSayedHQ post - they took their post down so I took mine down. I appreciate that and hope them and @AbdulElSayed well on the campaign trail!
