One hearing?

I guess a 7 week vacation is more urgent. Or arresting genuine peaceful protesters on the spot.

first hearing. I don't figure they will get much interest from now on. I thought they would be doing hearings every day not one a month. I don't see where Merrick Garland has been the AG we expected. If we lose the House Biden will be up for impeachment on day one. They will make something up.

Wonder how much money he is milking off this. Suckers!
What do they think, they get a pass into Disney?

Years ago my boss, who was rich but Scrooge like, decided to give the employees ‘business’ cards putting our title on it (in lieu of a raise of course). I was ‘Director of …’

Whoa, sounded important. Can I have my raise now?

These people are gullible cash cows!

If The Dotard is re-elected in 2024, we'll be fucked.

For now, it's just more of the same: propaganda and fundraising.

Trump wants all of the faithful carrying those cards because it will be a big fundraiser. I would like to see him encourage his flock to have a "T" tattooed on their foreheads so that we can see them coming.
