Oof. This is the sort of misleading claims Trumpian conspiracy theorists used to foment questions about 2020, or discredit results in WI or MI by talking of "statistically unlikely" odds of Milwaukee or Detroit counts. (Built on a false claim of that 99% means "99% of precincts," which it doesn't.)

They want us to be appalled, because caring about rules of war and human lives and the law all mark us out as inferior to them in their sick worldview.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Honestly being gay is completely foreign to Tucker and his audience. It's like an alien culture to them. They have no ability to recognize that people are basically 99% the same everywhere. They reduce "others" to that 1% difference and focus on dehumanizing and hating that difference.

That moment when even Bill Kristol would be a better Democratic minority leader than Hakeem Jeffries.
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Since I'm the Arizona politics guy, what are the implications of the TN-7 result in Arizona?

Well, that swing would be more than enough to flip not just AZ-1 (Schweikert) and AZ-6 (Ciscomani) but also AZ-2 (Crane). Nez overperformed Harris by 5% net and is running again. Don't sleep on this!

But what did he do in order to secure the border?! Hm?! WHAT.DID.HE.HAVE.TO.DO?!
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Look, someone needs to say it: this is a tell for Galloway.

Not to be crass, but back in the day I had sex with plenty of men who didn't pay for a damn thing.

They had other things going for them, though, like basic human decency and an understanding that sex is best when it's not transactional.
Yes where else could men possibly receive this scorching insight

"The Committee also received records from J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank. Oversight Democrats intend to release the files to the public after review in the days ahead."
House Oversight Democrats just released never-before-seen photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein's Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands — including one room in his home that contained a dentist's chair.
