@GeorgeProust This is literally how the Russian economic system came to be. Give your rich pals all of the major industries for pennies on the dollar and allow them to pillage them in exchange for loyalty and cash. It's not too difficult to see this is the model the GOP is trying to emulate.

It's Friday and Dementia Donny still hasn't come up with a stupid enough stunt to steer the weekend media away from 24/7 Epstein Dish. Oh... other than call for more attention paid to people in the Epstein files. Have a great weekend ...and get outside.

YOUR OUTRAGEOUS LYING has to stop @SpeakerJohnson What you put forth was a ANONYMOUS VOTE so REPUBLICANS could vote IN SECRET. Your goal is to HIDE THE NAMES. DEMOCRATS said NO to that. Not the release. EVERY REPORTER should have called out your lie. https://t.co/Bk7aJkinOO

Dear @AGPamBondi This is JOHN MITCHELL. He was the Attorney General during the Richard Nixon administration. Then he went to JAIL because he did what Richard Nixon told him to do. I thought you should know that because you have driven 195mph past anything he ever did IMO.

If true, a big wtf. Not normal. Only conclusion: Not done unless they canāt pass the poly. This aināt rocket science. If Congress had any balls and actually cared about CI/security, some damn quick and loud oversight is required. Norm busting behavior (again, if this true).
