Jeanine Pirro was only prosecuting Jerome Powell because Donald Trump was unhappy that Powell didn’t want to cut interest rates

The federal judge quashed her subpoenas because Pirro’s office had no evidence to show Powell committed any crimes

That’s the system working as it should

Pirro is a joke

Looks like we're in for 3 days of misery. El Nino is supposed to bring extreme heat this summer, but may well also bring increased moisture and less wind into winter. Assuming we survive that long. #cowx #Colorado

Pete Hegseth stole "Arsenal of Freedom" from an episode of Star Trek.

The title itself was a reference to FDR's "Arsenal of Democracy".

Unfortunately, Hegseth is too damn stupid to understand what either one meant.

He isn't just a pathetic, drunken slob.

He's also an evil homicidal maniac.
