Keepin the heat ON!!

This doesn’t look as if it will amount to a whole lot, but something is hyper-weird here, in particular: Falwell’s abrupt Lindsay Graham-like about face re: trump endorsement for no discernible reason - what was that about??!?

Thanks much for posting, MelissaB - if nothing else, that Falwell scumbucket is probably having a really shitty day, and I’m EVER so down with that!

On edit:

And what’s the deal with Falwell’s fuel contract??! I understand none of this but, hmmmm

The Pentagon agreed to buy nearly $900,000 in jet fuel from the conservative university owned by Jerry Falwell Jr., just months after President Donald Trump took office.

The Department of Defense signed the contract with Freedom Aviation, which is wholly owned by Liberty University, on May 9, 2017, and had since purchased more than $400,000 in turbine fuel from the same company, reported The Daily Beast.
