"After delivering their rulings, which Supreme Court Justices will now board the yachts and jets of
rich friends of similar ideology to rest on luxury vacations?" - Michael Beschloss.

DeSantis - whenever he gets excited his head starts to bobble. That's his tell.
Whenever his head starts bobbling, he's doing some heavy duty prevarication.
Big time asshole, big time clown.

John Durham Just Made False Statements to Congress
In a subsequent exchange with Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Durham misled the committee about another key element of the Trump-Russia scandal. McClintock observed that the central charge in the Russia collusion hoax was that Trump campaign operatives were in contact with Russian intelligence sources.
Replying to that remark, Durham said, There was no such evidence.
Thats not true.
While running Trumps campaign in the summer of 2016, Manafort had regular contact with Konstantin Kilimnik, a former Manafort employee in Ukraine who has been repeatedly identified by US government officials as a Russian agent.
In a detailed, bipartisan 2020 report, the Senate Intelligence Committee, then chaired by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, called Kilimnik a Russian intelligence officer. A year earlier, the Mueller report said, The FBI assesses that Kilimnik has ties to Russian intelligence. The US Treasury in 2021 declared Kilimnik was a known Russian Intelligence Services agent implementing influence operations on their behalf. The department added, During the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, Kilimnik provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy. In 2018, Mueller indicted Kilimnik on charges of obstruction of justice.

People keep asking, how to get thru to the reality-denying RWers? How to make them acknowledge
the seriousness and reality of the Trump crimes?
Not sure I have the answers, but would love to hear the opinion of cult de-programmers.
Why hasn't anyone in the media or tv opinion shows interviewed a cult de-programmer on the Trumpy Cult?
How do we get those folks back into a reality-based worldview?
