Better late than never I reckon.

I hope this signals a new era of the press sensing blood in the water and frenzying appropriately.

Swan did us an enormous favor by showing how much people enjoy a bit of pushback against the liar in chief.

Totally agree and I think that Wallace and especially Swan have done us a great service by showing the powers that be how much the public wants to see this charlatan called out on his lies and wants to hear the complete truth, no matter how unpalatable.

CNN is covering that here. Either way, I'm glad he's FINALLY being called out on that blatant lie. We need to see more of this kind of thing. LOTS more.

Call him out and continue to call him out! He will shrink like an unwatered petunia.

Swan did something very few journalist do, confuse the twat-waffle with facts, but let's only have woc journalists interviewing the festering wind-bag, he would absolutely blow up! He would huff and puff! Go on twitter jag and give President Biden more ammo for his ads.

That's what GWB did, clung to Gore on the issues ... there's no difference between parties, remember?

That's what Trump is doing.

…..I think he really is too addled to know the difference between Obama's major law and his own recent tweak.

When we're again (for the 10th time that day) shown how incompetent he is, it takes me to the thing we must all realize: Beirut can happen here.

The ruinous Beirut explosion came from negligence, indifference, corruption, deregulation, putting toadies in charge——Beirut can happen here.

God knows what's been ignored and/or covered up, over the last 4 years.

Sorry if this diverts the thread —but it's about his addlement.

...... be in this horrible fix we are in. How do you stop a liar and a cheat from lying and cheating CALL THEM ON IT EVERY TIME?

P.T. Barnum knew this years ago. "there is a sucker born every day and TWO to take UM".

Read Mary Trump's book. You will see through her eyes and tales. Just how dangerous DJT is. He was built that way.

No excuses just fact. For me, it is a hard read. By the end of each chapter, I want to go out to my shop and pound nails. That is the best way I can put it for the time being.
