Racists and ignorant cultists. No other reason. They couldn’t explain their position even using crayons. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > This is one of the best days of my life. First, I watched a video with a sovcit telling a cop said sovcit isn’t under his jurisdiction because the sovcit is “from the East coast of Calfifornia”. Then this news, literally seconds later, shows up. Admittedly it made me laugh like a loon. I remember making my MAGA mother so angry when I told her all of her talking points regarding Ukraine came from Russia. I’m not quite sure how hopeful I can get that many people in the MAGAsphere will care about this. This news is coming from a source they can’t easily dismiss as fake news, so maybe something will sink in? But then I can’t underestimate their ability to deny reality when it collides with their worldview. Still a good day though. ---

Easy, Trump fell out with Musk so anything owned by Musk is clearly FAKE NEWS. Of course, if they make up again then it will become legitimate again, but this will all be forgotten by then. ---

I hope you folks didn’t count on a Trump phone as a gift this year, because it doesn’t look like you’ll get what they described. But oh well, Trump endorsed it so it must be 101% American, and I’m sure you’ll get it in 2 weeks. > **[The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna245035)** > > Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise. ---

This is a golden rule,” he added before signing off with an informal “Thx L.” The released documents redacted Hannity’s response. > > Murdoch’s pointed message came on Oct. 1, 2020, following Hannity’s interview with the president, during which Trump complained that Fox was a “much different place” than it used to be and took aim at two of its journalists. The text chain also included Trump’s frenemy Rupert Murdoch, 94, and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, 60. That obviously didn’t stick. But this next one does and it’s good for the soul.
