As bad as Trump is, at least with him you know what you're getting. With Vance, as my wife says, he's a chameleon. There's something off-putting & "ain't right" about him.
NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnsonโs refusal to swear in Grijalva.
Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโs even worse today.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
He told them "a year ago we were a dead country". Not true. But after his cuts to healthcare, we'll be a really dead country

Yeah, *that*

I'm gonna be 70 this week. I've never voted for a GOP candidate for POTUS & I vote every election. I also was an active duty Army Engineer Officer (2LT - CPT) in a combat engineer battalion, 1977-81, 4 more yrs in Reserves. I am NOT a gnat on someone's shoulder. I am a US Army veteran

But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition weโve had since Washington. No, whatโs more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks donโt even have a shred of compassion. Itโs one thing to enforce laws and rules. Itโs another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Donโt let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.
Kimmelโs estimated Tuesday viewership (on TV alone) was 6.26 million, but since ABCโs Sinclair & NextStar affiliates censored that number only represents 77% of the possible number. Factoring back in the blacklisting stations, itโs possible that his projected rating would have been 8.13 million.
