I agree. I also like that when she appears, that she ENUNCIATES. Even before zoom calls, hlthe2b Apr 2021 #7

Gaetz is, an attorney--though obviously not a good one. He definitely has a fool for a client hlthe2b Apr 2021 #5

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Gaetz-Tucker Carlson interview was beyond comprehension.

I had grown very weary of those who MUMBLE. (and I tend to do it myself, so I know how easy it is to slip into those habits).

She never leaves you confused about what point she's trying to make and it's possible to catch every word!

That if the "smear" was started by the former guy's justice department, and the same "smear" was carried on by the Biden Justice Department, then that's a hell of a wide ranging "smear".

More likely it's an appropriate investigation.

If he's under investigation from both sides, there's obviously a lot more going on. And his reaction of going public in the way he has sure hasn't helped whatever case he's trying to promote...

These qpukes feel so entitled that they go on TV & social media to self-incriminate. Dump obviously did this, 1/6 terrorists did this, and now this moron.

They ard so accustomed to "winning" with their public bs, it's just incredible!

Trump stood up there and lied and was responsible for unspeakable acts that harmed so many people, and they saw him get away with it so now all bets are off! That's the biggest reason he needs to be held to account - for everything - so this never happens again!

I have Mary Trump's book and Trump didn't start disregarding American law yesterday. He started years ago, enabled by his father who lent (gifted) him millions with no regard for taxes, and that was only the start. His father died in 1999 so that's a lot of history to go through - though it looks like they're going for the most blatant and recent first.

But, tbh, I was very disappointed shit bag was not remanded to custody the second Joe was sworn in. Hold him behind bars while investigations go forward.

But I'd be willing to bet that the prison guard union would go on strike before more than a day or two went by...
