What has Cher said that the piece of shit Hannity would agree with???

Watching Rachel and when ads come on I switch channels, went to Hannity and he’s talking about something Cher said and Hannity was saying who ever would have thought the president and Cher would have this in common. What the hell is that all about??! What did Cher say??

From Al Franken regarding Barr......

Barr: “I’m Sully!”
Franni and I have been in NYC, busy with baby-duty. Trying to make our son and daughter-in-law’s lives just a little less exhausting.
So, I just caught up with one of the Barr hearings. The one where Chris Coons asks Barr if he had talked to the White House about the Mueller Report. Barr said he wasn’t going to answer because, “I’m landing the plane.” So, that’s obviously a “yes,” because if he hadn’t talked to “the White House,” Barr would have said “no.”
That would have been nice for someone to point out.
But the weirdest thing was Barr’s excuse. “I’m landing the plane.” I’m landing the plane? Is that supposed to be hard? If you are a pilot, say, a career pilot in his late sixties, landing a plane is not difficult. I’ve been in the cockpit of a 747 while it’s landing. There is a computer that tells the pilot the altitude of the plane. Literally says it out loud. It goes like this: “Four hundred feet…three hundred feet…two hundred feet…one hundred feet…ninety feet…eighty feet…” I knew the plane was going to land right after, “ten feet.”
Is “landing the plane” supposed to be the same as “pulling the baby out of the fire?” He’s the attorney general. He’s releasing a report. Is figuring out what to redact and not redact really that hard? You redact stuff that’s classified, or that a grand jury heard that’s not supposed to be made public for whatever reason you don’t make some grand jury findings public. I haven’t been a lawyer for forty-seven years. Barr has, give or take a year. (This is not worth Googling.) Why is that so hard that you can’t answer a simple question?
Does Barr think he’s Sully? Has a flock of birds flown into all the plane’s engines? Is he landing in the Hudson?
If talking to the White House was that compromising, here’s what you do – Don’t talk to the White House! That way you don’t have to look really shady. Just when you’re about to land the plane.
