...this morning. That would mean the Hackbarth oozing tweet was posted yesterday morning, long before any details were known or even hammered out. Was he even in Washington at that time?

So Sirota is lying about a lie. Is this a case where two negatives equal a positive?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
That whole campaign is based upon lies and fantasies NCProgressive Mar 2020 #1
