I especially like the part about how the left doesn't read books, they burn them, but the right reads and learns from them.

So how come the Republicans are the ones banning books?

Ah, this is a Brandon Straka show. That makes sense.

"Somebody like Alex Jones is being politically persecuted and being forced to payout millions of dollars," Greene says. "Nobody agrees with what he says but we are sick of the political persecution."

Rep Biggs says the House Oversight Cmte or House Judiciary Cmte would investigate the Jan 6 Select Committee next Congress, if Republicans take control of US House next year

Lord knows it wouldn't do for them to ferret out what he was doing there exactly.

I don't see his ankle bracelet. He must have completed his time, but not his complaining about it.

They didn't perhaps lock the cell and throw the key away? Accidentially of course? :twisted:

"She's wrong that the phrase "America First" was coined by Trump. It was used by the KKK decades ago."

It was used by the KKK & American nazis in the 1930's. Of course, supporting Hitler. They joined together in a large meeting in NYC and strutted around the street with their hate signs, nazi armbands, and kkk white hoods. Trump's father attended at least one of gatherings. IIRC, he was arrested.

CPAC always upsets me. We've had these hate fests for a long long time, and I worry that it's still getting worse... again.

Orban is a white supremacist and antisemitic. He talks like he isn't when with, for example, when speaking with Israel politicians, Then switches back when with his supporters. .

It’s easy to get distracted here, but I’m trying to figure out what the woman in the back is up to.

Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon denounce Kevin McCarthy at CPAC, and say they want Jim Jordan to replace him as Leader.

Bannon says Trump children’s book author Kash Patel will be CIA Director in a 2nd term, & that they will replace 4,000 govt workers with sycophants: “We’re gonna have a well-trained cadre of people that will hit the beach day 1 .. taking apart the fed bureaucracy brick by brick.”

After Roe was struck down, there were a lot of similar posts on Twitter where the most horrendous couples possible were tagged with "We'll adopt the baby" signs.

Banon needs to check with Chris Christie and recall what happened with the transition team of 2016.

Apart those 4000 govt workers are the first tier below the political positions. They are the knowlege workers, they run the administration, have profound insight into law and regulations. Eliminating them will also lead to a additional numbers of workers below dropping out cause of stupid superiors and having their career development blocked by outsiders.. Those "well-trained people" would already have applied for a job in D.C. and a administration career path if interested, not waiting for Bannon.
