I believe he's referring to Don Williams who wrote "Livin' on Tulsa Time.

It's been a loooong time since congressional subpoenas had much effect. Since their wild abuse by McCarthy, Jenner etc. and the disapproval by the revulsed public. Kissinger flouted sun\bpoenas from the Pike committee by accusing the committee of McCarthyism, and, amazingly, got support from most of elite liberal opinion.

The story -- which should make liberals squirm -- is conveniently elaborated in Kathryn Olmsted's "Investigating the Secret Government."

it didn't start with trump, folks, and it wasn't only Republicans.

Ha! At this point it's all fucking around and no finding out. I hope you're correct.

Republicans? Why yes!

They all think they are smarter than everyone else, but among them all the distance between reality and self-estimation is nowhere greater than with Navarro.

$812m USD is quite a haul for a no-bid contract, with oversight still being one prez away. Naturally, it only cost Phlow a 5% tithe to the "campaign fund". Gotta pay the dealer, you know.

that money is already long gone in some Cayman or Cypriot slush fund.

He stands out as being one of the more virulently disagreeable deplorables from the Trump basket.

In the "Not Exactly News" Department, Chump's "History Tour" appears to be, well, history...

But not to worry - Plenty of good seats still available!

One reason to think Chump didn't say "I’m taking down all flights coming into the US from China" is that he didn't do that. Of course, he's so self-delusional he might have actually thought he did (particularly in hindsight, where he tends to lie to try to make himself look good).

But, since flights continued to arrive from China (and from Europe, spreading COVID-19 along the East Coast) I'll go with "Never Happened."

"...incredible coronavirus response..." I'll go along with that - not to be believed, either.

Why bring a baseball glove to a "conversation?"

"You can't just shout PRIVILEGE and run away laughing." Very funny.
