As Trump launches full scale attacks against networks and Brendan Carr threatens their licenses, it seems almost imminent
Tonight is another stark reminder of what a joke it was that Tapper wrote about Joe Biden being cognitively diminished yet completely sanewashed Donald Trump’s plummeting mental acuity
