Reporting facts = unfair. Where have heard that before…
With reality having a liberal bias, I have a sense of deja vu before the Trump presidency even started. What a total clustertrump.
“The law’s totally on my side, the president can’t have a conflict of interest.”
What does that mean?
In actual practice, I clearly can’t do either one.
So, Trump says stuff and Maggie acts as stenographer. Fascinating. But why should anyone believe anything he says? Oh, but he’s the PEOTUS!, you say. And, your point is?
There’s no conflict of interest. I’m interested in both.
