Quote someone when disparaging them, you say? The NYT, in disparaging Carlson, quote him endlessly. Please read and listen to the links before reacting with ignorance. That ignorance is what propagandists like Carlson count on.

I’d laugh at this but you might be handicapped in some way. So read: President Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

I’m delighted to see this lousy investment in a lying autocrat lose value daily. Protect democracy instead.

We are hoping to get verified. But you know the anti free speech Twitter will try to suppress our voice on their platform. They could only do that because they are bigger and have a way bigger following and better platform but we have good ole 45! #TRUMP2024

Nats game only available tonight through Apple + TV. Female announcer,well, different but just fine. However, she must believe she gets paid by the word, like Charles Dickens. Because she will not shut up! Not for a second. I’m actually enjoying ads, to give my ears a rest.

@MarshaBlackburn Marsha, watched you at recent hearing. Do you own a brush or even a comb? You look like you just rolled bed. Also your questions are lame or silly. Don’t you have staff to help you?
