Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

At the very least, the rest of us need to become intimately familiar with making these people feel like absolute dreck. Anyone who attends the WHCD deserves nothing less than absolute ridicule; mockery of their work; metaphorical pitchforks, tar and feathers; a lifetime of utter and complete shame.

I think it’s bad that the president casually refers to a leader of the opposition as a “traitor.”

This is advance warning to every state’s AG. These fringe “conservatives” (radicals) are coming for ballots in every state. The Stop The Steal movement was a pre-cursor to actually stealing elections. Read the whole piece then consider how we fortify polling locations.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
