Really, it’s a shame that the senator could not get his ass sued off for defamation. He spread lies specifically designed to harm a professional’s reputation. Knowingly. I’m sure he’s “protected” and can spread harmful lies with impunity. Morons will keep electing him. ---

Senator Rounds tells the truth: Gets trashed by Dear Leader: > “Nobody is out looking for confrontations,” Rounds said, defending his remarks. “What we are looking for is to be able to provide good information in a timely fashion, but to be seen as being responsible and being honest. I think that’s what the American people deserve. And I think that’s what many of us want to do. We’re not looking to fight. What we’re looking is, is to say here are the facts, and they’re not going to change.” Well, he’s not up for election until 2026, but he’s probably finished in the Republican Party. “good information”? “Responsible”? “Honest”? These are not Republican Values. ---

I think Paul is both stupid and evil and I applaud Fauci’s hot mic moment. Fauci showed a lot of control for not inserting “titty-fucking” between “Jesus” and “Christ”. I’m continually amazed that Rand Paul graduated from high school, let alone college and med school. The attacks of Fauci by the right shows the level of depravity in the GQP and the lack of intellectual honesty. ---

I found this link > **[How Many People Attended Trump's Florence, Arizona Rally? See Crowd Photos](https://heavy.com/news/trump-florence-arizona-rally-crowd-photos-2022/)** > > Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Florence, Arizona, on January 15. See photos of many attended, along with updates about what happened. > [Yahoo! News (via the Arizona Republic) reported](https://news.yahoo.com/biden-sags-trump-returns-arizona-140031036.html) that more than 15,000 were in attendance at the rally. Meanwhile, Liz Willis of the right-wing network RSBN [had indicated](https://twitter.com/Jules31415/status/1482536140049637377) during the rally that attendance was about 20,000, [according to a tweet](https://twitter.com/Jules31415/status/1482536140049637377) that her official account retweeted. [The Town of Florence Police Department had written](https://www.facebook.com/TownOfFlorencePD/posts/296111765893133? __cft__ %5B0%5D=AZX1wfzmFJSr4kBx0Hyu8bUmOC1qBRMR2IfKrgdXvWsPku8kgV7nnbKxefjsBHK4DbdVcpceeFvXh5hUL5r2oA8kN_TIXNi_urbv-7iYrVDA28RSbWd_WgB20GS9C6sforDNecq-c_oFI8bkG98xXSG_& __tn__ =%2CO%2CP-R) on January 13 that they projected an attendance of close to 30,000. So 15-20K with unbiased reports probably leaning towards to lower number. Meanwhile despsite his claims Trump is continuing to fail to meet expectations. ---

> He continued: “And has cars that stretch out for 25 miles. That’s not somebody that lost an election, and now because of it, our country is being destroyed.” It would take a natural disaster to have cars stretched out that far for a single event. The single event would always be a disaster. ---
