Wallis on threats to democracy:

Trump court journalist on Joe Biden’s “mental state”:

Lance is upset with Michael Cohen:

Nonsense Michael. He was spied on and set up by FBI and former spy master Clapper for breaking news about the dossier on CNN. However, if a red wave sets up a Trump 2024 it will LOOK like a weaponized DOJ when the real committee work breaks out and FBI/DOJ officers are impeached. https://t.co/TeYAVqZx9j
