Steve Scalise is the GOP pick for House Speaker
Stated he is Grand Wizard “David Duke without the baggage”
Rounded up 192 Republicans voted against the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act
Helped amplify the Big Lie
Spoke at an anti-LGBTQIA rally months after a lesbian police officer saved his life
Worked against Ebola aid, took credit for Ebola aid
Yep…solid republican résumé.

Jack Smith's team in the election case wants a judge to force Trump's hand on whether he plans to use an "advice of counsel" defense.
If he does, the prosecutors said it would be a waiver of attorney-client privilege and would entitle them to gather more evidence — from at least 25 witnesses.

@Free_Press Let's be clear. This brilliant mastermind is a terrorist. An animal. If you put a suit on a monster and invite him on your show, he's still a barbaric monster. There's no way in hell I'm going to invite him in to polite society, and pretend he's some thought leader. He and his acolytes are human garbage. Period.

@jeffjarvis Looking back at vice presidents, historically, Harris is clearly being judged unfairly. What other VPs have had much of an impact? Biden was a very rare one. Quayle? LOL.
@chris Life is confusing these days.

Sorry for the screenshot post, but this is too good not to share. Great idea.
@chris It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone called a Soviet. Is that back in fashion?

Who knew allowing twitter to turn into a disinformation cesspool might have consequences
@GottaLaff I’m glad you’re doing it though. It’s a nice light distraction from heavier thoughts right now.
