17. Thanks. Yes, I could use a search engine, but I believe posters should provide links when possible.

It's part of the responsibility of a poster, IMO - they do a bit of extra work and thereby save dozens of readers from having to duplicate that effort.

Saying something was on Bluesky is like saying "I read it on the internet". Not quite up to DU's standards.

So you're saying Hannity is lying about Rump's offer and just made up the bribe himself? Seriously? LymphocyteLover May 6 #67

Seriously Cirsium Thursday #72

Hannity is a well-known liar and propagandist., Nonetheless, this is not the type of thing I see him making up LymphocyteLover Thursday #78

obviously there's a lot going on but the POTUS offering a bribe to a Senator to switch parties seems significant LymphocyteLover May 6 #68

Sure Cirsium Thursday #70
