Pete you watched a drone strike from an air conditioned office what are you talking about?
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Here's something weird my neighbor Cassie pointed out: Chapter 42 of Cynthia Erivo's recently released book "Simply More" is almost verbatim words spoken by Ariana Grande in an interview a year ago. Grande is not cited or listed as a contributor or attributed in the book in any way. Weird!

If I were advising Democrats on how to frame their party for the next decade it would be “Republicans are gutter racists while we believe that all men are created equal” and “Republicans are corrupt criminals and we will prosecute their crimes and claw back their ill-gotten gains”.
