PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD:
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! The View had to read a legal notice about the fake claims made against Matt Gaetz, or he would've sued them into oblivion 😂
He's not even Attorney General yet, and they're already walking on eggshells.

PUNCH A NAZI:
Tell me how a masked mob chanting "whose streets?" "our streets" through an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood is "freeing Palestine" rather than just open antisemitism.
Imagine a group of masked Klansmen shouting the same slogans through a black neighborhood and you get the idea. https://t.co/cafRwcQdQ0— David Bernstein (@ProfDBernstein) November 20, 2024
THEY LITERALLY DON’T THINK THOSE SHOULD BE ALLOWED: X Is the Nonpartisan News Source, Which Drives Liberals Nuts. “Twitter was crucial to the success of the MAGA movement not because Elon Musk made Twitter/X a MAGA haven–look at those poll numbers, and you can see that Democrats and Republicans are here in equal measure–but because the news media was so like Pravda that having a space where people could see a more synoptic view of the world destroyed the Truman Show the media was trying to create.”

“Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness,” [Sarah McBride responded] on X.
“This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” McBride added. “We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars.”
Ed [Morrissey]: Er … who’s manufacturing culture wars? The people who insist that males should have access to women’s spaces on the basis of self-identity, or the people who oppose it? Because it looks a lot more like the former than the latter, and voters seemed to agree in this last election.

COLD WAR II: Finland urges NATO, EU to shield critical networks after undersea cables damaged.
Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said Tuesday that NATO and the European Union must raise their game to protect themselves from hybrid threats and defend undersea cables from attack.
“NATO and [the] EU have to do a lot more to protect this critical infrastructure,” Häkkänen told POLITICO following the EU Foreign Affairs Council (defense format) in Brussels, adding that the topic had been discussed during the meeting.
Häkkänen’s remarks follow a Monday announcement by Finnish network company Cinia that it is investigating damage to an undersea internet cable connecting Santahamina, near Helsinki, to Rostock, Germany. The incident sparked political concern in both Berlin and Helsinki.
Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday referred to the damage as “sabotage.”
“We know that Russia has [the] capability and willingness to do sabotage in Europe,” Häkkänen told POLITICO.
But was it Russia?

RUSSIANS! UNDER MY BED!
If Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset, why has the US military allowed her to serve in it for 26 years, up to and including today as a Lt. Col. in the Army Reserve?
It's rather to difficult to explain that except with the conclusion that the accusation is utter baseless bullshit.

Telling paragraph about Tulsi in the NYT. There's no evidence she's working with Russia. But she agrees with Russia about some geopolitical issues.
Would they ever write this paragraph about a Member of Congress parroting Israeli, Saudi, Turkish talking points? pic.twitter.com/Ncwo8Bd7t1

WE HAVE LIFTOFF: Massive SpaceX rocket takes flight as Trump watches alongside Elon Musk.
SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket launched for its latest test flight at 5 p.m. ET, where the company didn’t catch its Super Heavy booster after takeoff.
Today’s mission marks SpaceX’s fastest turnaround yet, with new upgrades to the booster’s propulsion systems aiming for a smoother and faster catch using the launchpad’s “Mechazilla” claws.
President-elect Donald Trump attended the event with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk at the company’s Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas.
