Would like to see the cop without her mask, or maybe even without the uniform, privately.

I ask this seriously: Are you in any way surprised? I mean, this is the US Congress we're talking about.

Personally, I'd be suspicious (and actually a bit terrified) if Congress were to pass a bill which actually did the thing which its title implied, and nothing more. Congress can't pass a resolution in support of the Girl Scouts without funding covert operations in Syria at the same time.

I wish we could get a president that would refuse to sign any bill that had extras.

Pro-Trump network Newsmax airs 2-minute video admitting it has 'no evidence' of outlandish fraud claims against 2 voting-machine companies


I guess they've realised that they could get sued over peddling baseless claims.

How does CNN still exist if the news can be sued for baseless claims?

They also aren't in the business of getting sued. Their language is pretty clear here.
