Let's talk about the 'L' in the GOP #HEALSAct. It stands for 'Liabity protection'. It's the Republican euphemism for "you can't sue your employers for giving you #COVID but they can sue you for demanding safer working conditions"


Nobody--including the Navy--wanted sexual predator and former GOP governor Eric Greitens back in the Navy. Except @VP Mike Pence.

First rule of Presidential Advance: if nobody shows up, "collapse" the event (close the gap between the press in the back and the crowd up front), though "crowd" seem to be too generous a term in this case. More like a small gathering. Then fire your Advance Director.

It’s completely crazy, that China thinks they can claim jurisdiction over anyone who is not even a Hong Kong resident, who is anywhere in the world, doing anything that they deemed threatening. But that’s where we are now.
