Crowley has claimed repeatedly that Joseph McCarthy, scumbag lying redbaiter of all time was correct in fighting windmills and destroying the lives of many Americans while drinking himself to death, continues to debase herself with ludicrous Xitter postings.

Every year Google, Facebook, Xitter, and a host of other social media companies and advertisers continually change their algorithms that support right-wing causes and their MAGA counterparts.

President-elect Donald Trump complained about possibly having to walk down steps to reach the stage at a conservative conference on Sunday. As he walked out to the podium at AmFest in Arizona, Trump began by wishing the audience a Merry Christmas. "Nice to win the election and very nice to win," the president-elect said.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo pressed incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after 38 Republicans voted against President-elect Donald Trump's last-minute demand to raise the debt ceiling as part of a bill to prevent a government shutdown. During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Bartiromo told Leavitt that "drama" broke out on Capitol Hill due to Trump's demands derailing a government spending bill. "How much confidence should we have that the GOP can unite and agree on the agenda and President Trump's nominees?" the Fox News host wondered.
