Saying Biden was “certified” as the winner of the 2020 presidential election is not the same as saying Biden “won.”
Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence doesn’t appear to understand the distinction — and his answer is more important than it may seem. https://demdock.com/4vRuGpj

Ossoff is a extraordinarily effective questioner in tone and substance — and understands the importance of listening and responding when a witness is blathering.
OSSOFF: Are you aware that Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid?
CLAYTON: ...
O: What is going on here?
C: ... ...
O: Are you aware that members of this committee are probing Gabbard's potential misconduct?
CLAYTON: .... Uh uh ....
COTTON: Senator Ossoff your time is expired!

I know the comparisons are exhausted, but come on: Just imagine the months of Fox News outrage and GOP congressional subpoenas and hearings if Biden, Obama, or Hillary had posted an 11-strip US flag on the official White House social media accounts….

O'DONNELL: In his manifesto, he wrote that 'I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, & traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.'
TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from a sick person. You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. You're a disgrace.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

MAKE SURE that this is the conversation. It’s the reason this horrible thing happened. It’s the ONLY reason. Everything else is a distraction.
There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.
ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.
The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.
Budgets are moral documents.
