Yes, poor muffin. She has endured so much. The absolute nerve of the press to ask questions.

Gotta wonder what her severance package is....... bets on the over/under of it being 250k USD?

FTFY

I wouldn't be completely surprised if she wasn't replaced. I suspect he is convinced he is his own best spokesman, and if the Republicans do poorly in the midterms, direct contact with anybody outside of the base (rallies, etc.) may become rare.

It's all the "nasty" media's fault; she was treated badly and he suggested to her that she didn't have to put up with it.

I wish I’d copied the link, but I was reading something the other day by a stats/polling nerd where he’s basically throwing his hands in the air and saying that with this one, just about anything can happen as quality of representative population samples for most polling is dropping precipitously.

The Republican-led FCC advanced the request for public comment and could rule on it as soon as late October.

In 2020, tens of thousands of prospective voters in majority-Black areas of the U.S. received robocalls falsely warning that if they voted by mail, they could face arrest and debt collection.
