I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Holy guacamole. It’s hard to imagine a more unprofessional, ham-fisted approach to legal work than what Halligan took here. In court, on Signal, take your pick.

Oh, um, and this post is off the record. Obviously.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Let me go ahead and send my thoughts and prayers to all that plan to take their medical advice from someone who I am old enough to remember also told people to inject themselves with bleach.

Why is ignorance being elevated while intelligence is being denigrated?

As the shutdown looms, let’s play; what are the facts?

FACT: Trump wants to distract from Epstein. RELEASE THE FILES

FACT: Republicans run the House, Senate, & White House… if there is a shutdown, Real Math says it’s the REPUBLICANS’ SHUTDOWN.

Well, the American people don’t get a break—from missed paychecks, delayed services, and rising costs. It’s time for Republicans to show up and do their jobs. (2/2)

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Been wrong before but demolishing part of the White House while prices rise, the government is shut down, and health premiums are about to go through the roof? Might break through

Next time someone tells you democrats are responsible for the shutdown, say the following in a calm, collected tone:

- Democrats are fighting for millions of Americans to not lose their healthcare

- Republicans are threatening to hurt more Americans if Democrats don’t cave

Enunciate the big words
