Rudy selling cigars?

"I accomplished a lot in 2020, exposing the truth," Rudy Giuliani says. "And I came to know the work and value of the people at American Hartford Gold. Give them a call, and tell them Rudy sent you."

Fuckers or Republicans?

fred guttenberg to marco rubio, what would you call a group that does nothing about a pandemic that has killed 300,000 & refuses to stand up for Democracy? A group that is holding hearings suggesting the election is not over while Russia just attacked us? Fuckers or Republicans?

The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-

-based" and "science-based."

Just WOW

CDC gets list of forbidden words: Fetus, transgender, diversity

Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of "science-based" or ­"evidence-based," the suggested phrase is "CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes," the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.

Biden, in Atlanta, says of Sens. Loeffler & Perdue backing the Texas lawsuit for Trump: "they fully embraced nullifying nearly 5 million Georgia votes. You might want to remember that come January 5...Maybe your senators were just confused. Maybe they think they represent Texas."

"Spicy statement" from Georgia Secretary of State mocks Perdue & Loeffler

As embarrassing as it is for Sens. Perdue & Loeffler not to know that the data they want is already publicly available from the Secretary of State, it’s even worse that they’re not aware their own campaigns already have the data they’re looking for.
