No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels.
In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.
😳
WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

Russian authorities still haven't confirmed reports that a 28-yr-old woman in Shelekhov died of pneumonic plague. But the local hospital is quarantined, a nearby city briefly warned residents not to travel there, & local pharmacies are running short of key antibiotics. t.me/Baikal_Peopl...
🇺🇸 Reporter: You'll concede this is war?
Markwayne Mullin: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us.
Reporter: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war.
Reporter: When you walked up just now, you called it war.
Mullin: Okay. That was a misspoke.

Both Bellingcat and I were targeted specifically in this witch hunt, and they've come up with absolutely nothing, but I'm sure Matt Taibbi, Mike Benz and pals will still keep publishing their fantasies about the censorship-industrial complex rather than admitting they were wrong.
There was no "censorship industrial compex" under the Biden administration. But the MAGA officials who continue to believe in it have done a lot of damage.

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events.
He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF.
It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event
