  • Rep. Sessions Wants Show Trials For Anti-Trump Congressmembers
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 12/28/2024 - 06:53 PM

    Sessions was ostensibly talking about officials who allegedly “silenced” a report with "evidence" that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in a Chinese lab. Those alleged silencers were Dr. Anthony Fauci and other members of the Biden administration. Sessions accused them of “abuse of power.” Project much, Pete? Because no sooner were those three words out of Sessions’ mouth than he began talking about prosecuting them in show trials.

    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 12/28/2024 - 05:00 PM

    So much has happened this year, it's hard to believe it was just last March that NBC hired and fired former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. NBC News has hired former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel to serve as an on-air commentator, meaning that NBC News just hired a key figure in former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, according to NBC News. McDaniel left the RNC after losing Trump’s favor, only to be welcomed into the warmer waters of television punditry.
