She is unafraid and outspoken. Just what we need on the national scene.

She is also very smart.

and politicians who dont even pretend to tell the truth.

Faux is clever, their lives are by omission, but then they lie outright by allowing lies by guests.

I haven't seen the media tell the entire store except once. They brought bullhorns because they weren't being allowed to be heard.

The 1000 plus J6 arrests and subsequent verdicts with many getting jail time had a rather sobering effect on the bat shit crazies when TFG asked them to protest after his indictment

done by men who'd grown fat with NRA money and who would never listen to anyone else.

The other was an attempt to overthrow the national government.

The Justins should have been escorted out and maybe fined. Expelling them was an overreaction.

We're still waiting to see if there are any consequences for the rotten insiders who tried to aid a coup d'etat by TFG.

He said he was moving to...I think it was Fox because "this is all just a gig to me. I'm like an actor playing a part"

Here's his style of "just asking questions"

Maher continued to press his panelists and noted “when it comes to trans issues, there seems to be no room for debate. I mean trans people seem just to want...you have to accept lock stock and barrel everything they say or else you are a bigot and you are shouted down.”

He then said America is, "going in the opposite direction of European countries such as Finland, Norway, Sweden and the U.K.", which have taken steps to restrict gender affirming care.



Right wing sites like Fox news, Daily Caller and the rest are already having a field day with her appearance and using it to celebrate their cause.

Like I said, I love her but we on the left need to stop trusting anyone in the media that isn't on our side.

Morgan actually allowed as how the events of J6 happened in a "much larger and more violent way."

Big of him.

I'd watch her every night if I could. Katie Porter is awesome and seemingly indefatigable.
