He epitomizes the word "smarmy."

They are pushing back, but always give the "guest" the last words during which the speaker always says the pushback is wrong/untrue and then reinforces the MAGA lie by repeating it before the interviewer moves on. To be effective, they need to push back with facts and then stop.

The tide will start to turn when media stops giving them a platform on which to repeat their lies. It's great that callers challenge the lies, but the lying sycophants are always given the last word.

The look Johnson has when he knows no one is buying his lies no matter how condescendingly he speaks to them.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Then, if this is remotely possible, these MOC need to pressure Johnson to seat southern Arizona's duly elected representative, Adelita Grijalva. Get it done.

Yeah, the guy with actual felony convictions who pardoned others also with criminal convictions and whose administration is losing in court for their illegal actions almost every day wants those lawfully opposing him locked up.

Adelita has wanted to be sworn in for 2 weeks, so do it now.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

Why haven't any of the pro-democracy, civil liberties, or voting rights organizations not filed suit against Johnson on behalf of AZ voters who elected Grijalva by a 69 to 29% majority vote?

It's not that what's happening in Chicago and other places isn't "normal," but it's that it's not lawful. Words of opposition are great and important, but state and local law enforcement must start to act against the lawlessness. They can't just stand idly by watching crimes being committed.

Repeating the lie repeatedly doesn't make it the truth.

Yes, many of us are petty enough to appreciate Noem not being given what would normally be a minor courtesy or display of civility. When you abuse others, you shouldn't expect graciousness.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Total Republican capitulation to Dem demands to maintain ACA subsidies and roll back Medicaid cuts seems like a good way to reopen the Republican government shutdown (and protect Americans somewhat).

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ yes to so many of these, but especially opening a bag, getting ice, and cutting anything on the cutting board. And the Redi Whip can.

The takeaway is obvious. Less camera time for Trump means fewer lies.
