Dude, you didn't even come close to asking a decent follow-up question of Maxwell. And I saw you at your boss's criminal trial, you know, the one where he was convicted on 34 felony counts: You couldn't cross-examine your way out of a paper bag. 😀

Loomer not happy.
On Fox News this morning, @DHSgov Secretary @KristiNoem bragged about how more foreigners are being naturalized under the Trump admin than ever before. How is that a good thing? We are supposed to be kicking foreigners out, not letting them stay. “Under the Trump admin, we've

Oh what a surprise.
I am one of the largest pro-Trump commentators in the nation. I get tens of millions of views every single month talking about Trump's America First agenda. And right now, I'm absolutely fucking beyond PISSED OFF that tonight, as a justification for H-1B visas, Trump said that

Fun fact, North Korea used to be wealthier than South Korea. And please spare me the comments that true socialism has not been tried yet. Socialism always leads to misery, poverty and oppression. No exceptions.

Trump: Newsom is a horrible governor. If he ran the country like that, our country would be gone.

NEW: I’m calling on Trump to cancel private jet flights instead of commercial airlines. Private jet flights often take a single billionaire passenger, but still put real strain on our air traffic control system. Trump is choosing to target commercial airlines that the rest of

💯 agree. Charles Kushner embodies the criminal conviction he earned and went to prison and was disbarred for when he loyally and generously hired a prostitute to blackmail his sister's husband to retaliate for the latter's cooperation with a federal criminal investigation into
Always a joy catching up with my dear friends Ambassador Charles Kushner and his extraordinary wife Seryl. Few people embody conviction, loyalty and generosity of spirit quite like they do.
