Ryan Lizza sends out a chat that says “Part 4”, I get a notification and obviously think he has posted his next reporting on this explosive Butler info, but no - 2 min later he shares “is coming on Sunday”. Starting to think it’s a grift and Lizza doesn’t have consequential info

One more Fox/Smartmatic email: On Jan. 10, 2021, four days after the Capitol riot, Lachlan Murdoch had a conversation with someone about whether Kayleigh McEnany was "too Trump tainted" (in the other person's words) for the network Lachlan Murdoch: "I think it depends on (a)

Everything he’s saying is true, but why is he doing a poultry roast…
Vance: Who really likes -- be honest with yourself, who really likes Turkey? You are all full of shit. Everybody who raised your hands… Turkey doesn't actually taste that good. Chicken is good all the time.

I went through years of TV/radio interviews, campaign speech transcripts, White House remarks and social media posts and found at least 28 instances of Trump calling for a national TV network's license to be taken away — though it doesn't work that way:

CNN needs to bring back all their old pro-Trump contributors. The people want Santorum, Ed Martin (available again), Jeffrey Lord…

Former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, a CNN pro-Trump commentator, is said to be joining the administration to focus on immigration policy.
Phillip: Is it okay for anybody in this country to say whether they're a senator or not, that, hey, if you're in the military, you shouldn't follow illegal orders? Cuccinelli: That is an okay thing to say— Phillip: Why is it that it's okay for me to say, but the FBI is knocking

Rupert Murdoch's deposition in the Smartmatic case was definitely less damaging than in Dominion, but he gave 2 somewhat contrasting answers when asked to explain the network's post-election "pivot" - one was to get away from pro-Trump stuff, the other was to focus more on news

With Donald Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein facing scrutiny, QAnon believers are suddenly not interested in Epstein anymore. For @nytopinion, I asked a man many believe to be JFK Jr in disguise for his take.
