Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, w/no medical background, is telling Floridians they don't need the 2nd Pfizer vaccination--that one shot is enough. This is a dangerous lie, and he must stop. 407 796-1441 and 850 717-9337 are his official phone numbers. Release the hounds.

From Ivermectin to insurrection, from school board fights to women's rights...none of this would've happened if Hillary's popular vote victory had decided the 2016 election. None of this would've happened, were it not for voter apathy, "both sides-ism" Bernie Bros & "her emails."

Trump lied to the crowd in Iowa last night, when he said Biden had "stuttered" through the president's speech at Valley Forge yesterday.
Biden did not stutter once in that speech, and it takes a real asshole to make fun of a person's childhood speech impediment.

Respect, for Joe Biden‘s handling of the Ukraine crisis. He’s unnerved Putin by revealing Putin‘s plans before they happen, he’s fully united our allies, he’s providing Ukraine with the tools they need and he’s rolling out sanctions at just the right pace. Brilliant.

Trump did not agree to debate "Biden" on ABC September 10th.
He agreed to debate any candidate who met the polling threshold.
Those were and are the terms.
Now that the Vice President has met that threshold, he's backed out.
He backed out and went running to FOX News.
