Friday's Psaki Bomb: going over the heads of the Beltway media clowns

On Friday, Psaki started taking virtual questions from regional reporters. Hopefully she replaces the self-important hacks in the briefing room with a bunch of LCD screens. Then we'll get more intelligent questions

recited that list at the beginning he had ended, not with the interstate highway but DARPA funding https and NASA sending up satellites. It makes it harder for the dipshits to say "that's not infrastructure" when you include historical non-transportation development in what you are calling previous infrastructure.

Minor pet peeve but it is an on going flaw of Democrats to assume that we don't have to state the obvious.

these clowns would still be trying to pass each other pamphlets and copies of the protocols at gun shows, instead of being able to bitch about how Twitter has decided it has fucking minimal standards regarding outright hate speech.

would not even have a business let alone be rich. We need to talk about DARPA as venture capital and that the rich owe the American people dividends which is what Corporate taxes are!

28 percent is small potatoes, and Manchin can get with the program. It should probably be double that.
