TODAY'S CHOICE FOR 'WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH' IS THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, TWO WOMEN BEST REMEMBERED FOR PAVING THE WAY FOR WOMEN TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE KEEPS LYING ABOUT THIS (OR SHE'S REALLY THAT CLUELESS), SO WE THOUGHT WE'D CLARIFY.
DONALD TRUMP WAS STILL PRESIDENT FOR ALL OF 2020. IN FACT BIDEN DID NOT ASSUME OFFICE UNTIL JANUARY 20, 2021. SO, WHATEVER YOU'RE BLABBERING ON ABOUT AT THE BORDER WERE TRUMP'S POLICIES. NOT BIDEN'S.

The Orange Jackaloon doesn't deserve one ounce of respect on any level, and neither does his grifting greaseball friend, Steve Bannon.
As for Fox, they are full of crap. They also deserve no credit for this. They CREATED the monster that has now permeated this nation. They knew his ranting about a stolen election was utter bull, but they helped him promote his lies anyway. No legitimate news source does that. That's not "news." That's propaganda. Fox news is the propaganda wing of the GOP.
