Trump, allies fire back at media warnings of second-term dictatorship

Trump, allies fire back at media warnings of second-term dictatorship
Headlines blaring warnings about how a second Trump presidency could slip toward dictatorship on Monday prompted a stiff pushback from allies of the ex-president, who is topping GOP primary polls just weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

"In my view, fundamentally, there is a choice to be made. You can't both be for Donald Trump and for the Constitution. You have to choose." - Liz Cheney

Republicans Are Such Simple Minded Investigators

House Republicans ramping up their impeachment inquiry are touting subpoenaed financial records that show President Biden received monthly payments from a business account for his son Hunter Biden in between his time as vice president and president. 

But Hunter Biden’s attorney is pushing back at the House GOP, saying that the monthly $1,380 transfers account for repaying his father for a truck payment that Hunter Biden was unable to finance himself.

Guys, Hunter paid back his dad. 

Impeachment might not be enough. - John Collins

Ron DeSantis Should Have Worn His White Go-Go Boots!

After roughly 90 minutes, Fox News host Sean Hannity, who was the event’s moderator, said that while they had to wrap up, he had more time on his show and plenty more questions. 

“Let’s just do an extended hour. I’m happy to do it,” Newsom said.

Fetterman Wants To Expel Menendez

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the guest on Friday’s episode of ABC’s The View, which was live as the news broke that the House of Representatives voted to expel now-former Rep. George Santos (R-NY). It was predictable that the hosts would ask Fetterman about Santos, but he was more interested in seeing someone else expelled: fellow Senate Democrat Bob Menendez of New Jersey.
