SCHIFF: I want you to look at Capitol police and tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues PATEL: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement. SCHIFF: You didn't accept it, you glorified it!

Donald Trump is responsible for the deaths of 65 dead Americans killed in last night's plane/Blackhawk collision after firing 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago.

Some things never go out of style, eh ?

Must be God's will....

Pete Hegseth is woefully unfit and unqualified for the job of Secretary of Defense.
