^That’s pretty damn low to snidely make that comment to the son of a deceased reporter. And the son’s response is mighty classy and very on-point. ---

Trump has been tweeting a lot about One America News, apparently thinking he will make Fox News jealous. He is such a transparent idiot. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > Trump has been tweeting a lot about One America News, apparently thinking he will make Fox News jealous. He is such a transparent idiot. Well, when trump asks One America to the Prom, FOX will get the message loud and clear! Surely I’m not the only person who has noticed that the moniker @OANN is a hop-skip-and-a-jump from “onanism”? Does that mean that this is the official designated network for jerkoffs and wankers? I know, don’t call you Shirley. ---

I hope he fires Fauci and ‘reopens’ the country (whatever the hell that means). Let us all deal with the consequences and process them. And then, hopefully, that will be enough of an argument to take decisive action against the republican cult of white christian nationalists this November and start prosecuting them and throwing them in jail beginning in January! ---

Same defense. 1. Didn’t know the guy, never met him. There was no call. Never spent the night there so it couldn’t be true. Fake news. … 2. I may have seen him once or twice (regarding pictures and posts of himself with the guy). I called but it was business. That’s not what we talked about (releases transcript of him talking about subject). Fine people on both sides. Fake news (reprise) … 3. I may have had some interactions with him (personal lawyer/fixer/bagman). It was a perfect call, decision, many say it was genius. Fake news (reprise). … 4. Everybody does/did it. Obama did it but I did it better. It’s not illegal. It’s not impeachable. It’s unconstitutional. Traitor(s). Fake news (reprise). … 5. So what if I did it. Sue me. Article II says I can do anything. Subpoenas, testimony; not happening. Traitors (again), treason, Deep State, Pelosi, Hillary. Fake news (reprise). 6. I am not responsible. 7. Fire them all. Summary: Deny, fake news, it was perfect, I did it - so what? SAD ---
