@HatedEveryware @DonaldJTrumpJr It’s important as a historical record and we can check the footage when Trump lies about the outcome as he did in his settlement for the Trump Foundation.

Kangaroo Court

The Department of Labor says that employers added 336,000 jobs in September. But Twitter user @endfiatcurrency1488 isn't so sure.

@dave_desousa @SundaeDivine @kylegriffin1 @atrupar Could his lies about national security hurt national security?

@SundaeDivine @kylegriffin1 @atrupar they bear little resemblence to the truth. If the man who is known for constantly lying to inflate his ego was going to bluster to impress a follow "billionair", do you really think he would stick to actual facts?

Breaking ABC: Months after leaving office, Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of Mar-a-Lago — an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others. abcnews.go.com/US/after-white…

@Bakerfour @bennyjohnson You can dig into the numbers and find out

@bennyjohnson How many of those ppl have 2 jobs. Many of them are government jobs

NO ONE BELIEVES THIS

@thinkingwest @bennyjohnson People are working more desirable jobs, with better conditions and or pay.

@bennyjohnson Why is every fast food restaurant and grocery store understaffed if this is the case? Where are these jobs being added?

@TheRickWilson Sit back and watch the show

But to my friends in the Democratic Party: don’t get cocky.

The lobbyist of my long acquaintance, who works for a very large association in DC sends: “If they pick Jim Jordan, it’s Speaker Jeffries and I’m fucked.” Me: “Yes.”

@julie_kelly2 Threatening the GA Ag isn’t part of his anyone’s duties.

NEW: Trump filed motion to dismiss Jack Smith’s Jan 6 indictment, argues his actions related to uncovering election fraud fell within scope of presidential authority:

@Uncle_Buckster @LeSeBeLeSeBe @InvestnWPreston @charliekirk11 Who said? Trump paid business expenses with donated funds. After signing a plea agreement that acknowledged he paid personal bills and bought personal items he turned around and lied in a press release.

@zhongbrain @LeSeBeLeSeBe @InvestnWPreston @charliekirk11 He paid all of his loans back in full so what small businesses are you talking about? Any facts to back up these BS claims?

Honest liberals are admitting that New York’s civil case against Trump is a brazen, unprecedented lawfare assault on a political enemy. A Columbia professor says: “This is a version of business law capital punishment. … I’m not aware of a precedent at this scale.” A veteran real estate lawyer says: “Legal experts are trying to grapple with this in real time … [this law] hasn’t been utilized for a remedy of this scale and scope.” The civil case against Trump is exactly like the criminal cases from Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith: An unprecedented, radical rewriting of the law for the sake of crushing a political enemy. archive.ph/qrHLP

@Wowbagger74 @VIP177 @ggreenwald Did Comey interfere? Yes

@VIP177 @ggreenwald “The only election interference I can remember…” Right - because you ignored the others and/or your news sources lied to you

Bill Arkin has long ensconced in corporate media, reporting for NYT, WPost and LA Times. In 2011, he published a great 3-part series,"Top Secret America," with Dana Priest in the WPost. He has a new article on how FBI is being harnessed to target Trump supporters for 2024:

@ggreenwald Comey? Hello!!!!

CIA and FBI have repeatedly interfered in domestic politics to help elect Dems. The bullshit 2016 Russiagate/collusion scandal came from CIA and FBI straight to NYT and WPost. They're the ones who lied about Hunter laptop being "Russian disinformation" to shield Biden in 2020.

@RNCResearch Why stop the Republicans from self destruction?

"What's your advice to the next House speaker?" BIDEN: "That's above my pay grade" *shuffles away*

@Uncle_Buckster @LeSeBeLeSeBe @InvestnWPreston @charliekirk11 He put multiple small businesses under by failing to pay for work and products.

@LeSeBeLeSeBe @InvestnWPreston @charliekirk11 How so?

It was very brave of Matt Gaetz, who I do not support, to file a motion to vacate. But it was hypocritical and craven of Democrats to vote in favor of this motion. by Glenn Greenwald

@bennyjohnson Duh

🚨BREAKING: McConnell calls for the House to get rid of the motion to vacate rule because “it makes the Speaker’s job impossible”

@alpha_brav0 @LisaMarieBoothe That can be up for removal by 1 person

@LisaMarieBoothe Now we can get effective leadership in the chair

We barely have a majority in the House. That limits what you can and cannot do. It makes sense to fight and push policy in the direction you want, but complete chaos with no end goal just seems self-serving.

@ByronYork Democrats didn’t vote for him when he won or when he lost. This is pure R fuck up.

It worked. As opposition party, Democrats had no obligation to save Republicans from themselves. When Gaetz gave them chance to remove GOP speaker, they took it. Just 8 Republicans against McCarthy; 208 Democratic votes made it happen. Gaetz's gift to Dems.

@ByronYork Republicans set their own terrible rule. The bad outcome was set in motion from the beginning. Save yourselves, or don’t assume leadership.

@ChrisCanio @MZHemingway politico.com/news/2020/10/0…

Authoritarian watch: President Biden claims his political opponents should be monitored and prosecuted. His DOJ is prosecuting his chief rival. His FBI has opened up a new category threat of Biden opponent, according to Newsweek. newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exc…

@marklevinshow 😂

McCarthy ally and constitutional conservative, Jim Jordan, announces he's running for speaker.
