    Teddy Roosevelt got shot giving a speech in 1912, looked the guy who shot him in the eyes, said "you poor creature," and then continued giving his speech.
    Hard to imagine any other @POTUS having the guts to walk out of the White House like this: @realDonaldTrump

    Gyms are open in DC. This is all a show
    I work out everyday in a CrossFit gym that is open. With people. Gyms are small businesses that have been devastated by the government mandated shut downs. In DC, NOTHING is open bc of Democrat tyrannical control. So here’s my hotel room workout. We must FULLY reopen!

    #AZSen: Right now, with about 70% in, the top vote-getting Democrat on the ticket isn't Sen. Mark Kelly (D) but Adrian Fontes, the Secretary of State candidate running against election denier Mark Finchem (R).

    Hillary, on Bernie: "He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”

    Herschel Walker: "I'm a country boy. I'm not that smart. He's a preacher. (Warnock) is smart and wears these nice suits. So, he is going to show up and embarrass me at the debate Oct. 14th, and I'm just waiting to show up and I will do my best.” #GASen

    Serious question — What could Biden do that *wouldn’t* provoke the wrath of a large part of our country?
    I think Dems are wildly underestimating the intensity of anger college loan cancelation is going to provoke. Those with college debt will be thrilled, of course. But lots and lots of people who didn't go to college or who worked to pay off their debts? Gonna be bad.

    Herschel Walker said he was an FBI agent in 2019 (he wasn't) and said he worked with the Cobb County Police Department (the campaign said he was an honorary deputy, but the CCPD couldn't immediately say if he was or not) ajc.com/politics/polit…

    Per our very own @georgecondon, Trump just broke President Clinton’s 1996 record for the longest acceptance speech in modern history
