Trickle down hoax.
If I represented the Atlantic, I’d lock in the earliest deposition date on the calendar. Call Patel’s bluff. He has zero interest in putting any of this under oath.
Patel told us a) that he attended the Olympics, downing beers in the men’s hockey team’s locker room, as part of his job and b) that he doesn’t drink on the job.

I tend to watch these games in a fetal position.
Netanyahu has removed 40 thousand homes in Lebanon in less than a month . This war criminal needs to be brought to final Justice.
Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.

Peace, but only during trading hours
Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?
