Nothing to see here. Just a former US president using threatening language about American Jews at a time when antisemitism is on a global rise.

This sh*t is surgical. Never raised his voice, gave her space to assert her position, but stayed right with his line of questioning. He is SO damn good at this.

Florida has paid Vertol Systems, the vendor hired for these kidnapping flights, another $950,000. There might be another flight tomorrow from San Antonio to Delaware Coastal, with a pit stop in Crestview, Florida. Our tax dollars being used in idiotic and cruel political stunts.

To be clear, "we strongly recommend masks indoors" = "we know that COVID-19 is airborne, we know it's not mild, we know the pandemic isn't over, but our courage falls short of mandating protections because the loud people will get mad at us if we do."
