11:30 Alex Jones' defamation case was bigger than this one. $1.5bn.
Melissa, sometimes you need to let the story tell itself. There was a beautiful moment that you just interrupted. The best know when to shut up.
So many interruptions chasing a soundbite that wasn't there. This shit is way too thirsty. Thumbs down 👎
How do they get away with a voice vote?!?! That's unbelievable.
Hey! That bar is from "Popstar!"
Considering DJ as a person, seeing that he blatantly embarrassed his first and second wives very publicly, I just don't believe he was THAT concerned about Melania.
No. But you convinced me that the case against trump could very well succeed. I heard a lot of gobbledygook so I think it's likely.
Own the Libs? I thought that the party of Lincoln should be against owning people. My mistake.
Carvill is awesome 🤣 🎯
Gaetz is one of the most repellent creatures currently breathing. He looks like the evil Osmond sibling they keep in the attic. Perverse and cynical! Why's this paedophile not been charged yet? Oh... Yeah he is rich and hwhite. 🤯🔫
A question is why he wants the role of Speaker, but doesn't covet the power, maybe the tools the Speaker has used over the decades? Why?
Would blanket pardons muddy the investigative waters? If pardons are admissions then investigators have to expend energy piecing together the inferred wrongdoing? Trump wanted to 'chum' the waters with his staff! Or make them feel invincible so they would continue to lie for him? Trump is diabolical.
Liz Cheney said from the jump it was her objective to ensure that Trump NEVER holds public office again.
Jane Goodall wow, makes this your best show yet.
Jane Goodall is a very wise person and an engaging speaker. She makes us proud 🇬🇧
I'd like to see Trump eating shit in Hell in the style of Bacon 💩 I must find the app!
Cindy Lauper, fantastic to hear your interview with her. She was a bit of an influence on me back in the 70's. Absolutely love her, she's so real.
People including myself said,next time there will be a Trump, except he will have brains and his mind will be focused on destroying democracy. DeSantis is probably that person. He has already shown he can make the truth a crime, ban books and treat and label legal immigrants as illegal and abuse their humanity. That is just a fraction of what he has already done.
But, if you listen to the bodycam footage, everyone can hear ANOTHER officer confirm it wasn't a gun. There's no way to undo that. And when he was finally approached after being shot, THEY discovered it was a car part. There aren't any car parts that could possibly be mistaken for a gun that I know of and I'm a handy lady.
Graham needs to be charged with threats against the government he works for.
