   The parts that weren’t lies were unfiltered Great Replacement theory.

   Like all the other right wing media bloviators, who crack jokes about their followers behind their backs.

   GWB has quietly made it known he despises Trump & will not vote for him. I don’t think Bush is the kind of endorsement Biden wants.

   “I do not recall him causing any turbulence in my life like most democrats do.”

   If you weren’t a “loser” who got sent to Afghanistan or Iraq in a Humvee with inadequate protection against IEDs, you experienced no turbulence. If you weren’t living in New Orlean when Katrina hit, you experienced no turbulence. If you weren’t evicted because you bought a house with a shady mortgage & found you owed more than it was worth in 2008, you experienced no turbulence. Apparently Trump’s refusal to acknowledge a pandemic because he believed doing so would hurt his election prospects, caused you no turbulence. I guess for you the tax cuts & deregulation are worth a little turbulence in other people’s lives.

   China’s “navy” includes their coast guard boats. The total number of ships is deceiving. China’s blue water fleet is less than 1/10th what we have. Russia’s naval capability is even less.

   The hush money payments to Stormy Daniels were campaign contributions. Failing to report & trying to claim them as “business expenses” is a crime. Normally, it would result in probation. Normally, defendants don’t threaten a judge’s family members, either.

   “She’s no more responsible than Trump is as far as I’m concerned.”

   Pelosi did not ask people to “Go to the Capital & fight like h***.” Trump did. Trump now refers to people convicted for 1/6 as “hostages”.

   “The speaker of the house is in charge of the capital police and needs to OK calling in the national guard.”

   As I posted above, this is false. The job belongs to what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. On January 4th, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund requested NG troops be deployed to protect the Capitol. Paul Irving, the House Sergeant at Arms allegedly denied the request, citing “optics” of having armed soldiers.

    I call people liars when they’re lying. Here’s the claim:

    “Isn’t there a video where Pelosi says Jan 6th was her fault since she denied use of the National Guard even when knowing what might happen?”

    Pelosi never denied a request for NG. It was never her call to deploy NG. That video does not exist.
