My daughter sees @TuckerCarlson report on TV saying California is becoming 3rd world and asks me why. I tell her CA has highest taxes in USA that make it hard for people to afford to live here. She responds “Don’t you get paid to fix it?”

Did you tell her you’re too busy obstructing justice in a futile effort to avoid prison?

In Devin’s defense, he was very busy writing his fictitious memo.

1. Is Nunes Hispanic? If so, what's he doing watching that white nationalist Tucker?

[Tanuki]

3. He is of Portuguese descent, and his family immigrated from the Azores

a few generations ago.

[Marcuse]

5. He still is very close to the Azores and tries to bring home the bacon.

Nunes insisted on moving the intelligence center, known as the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex, to a remote base in the Atlantic. Privately, two officials noted that Nunes’s family emigrated from the Azores to California generations ago, and they suspected he was trying to curry a favor with locals and Portuguese officials.


“He is welcomed like a hero when he goes back there,” one official said, speaking on condition of anonymity so as not to incur Nunes’s retaliation.

Nunes rejected that insinuation and effectively called officials bigots for connecting his heritage to what he says are his oversight duties as the chairman of the intelligence committee.

“The fact you have defense officials using my ancestry in the press is offensive and it’s wrong. I’ve never heard the Defense Department come out and criticize Jewish members of Congress who support Israel,” Nunes said.

Nunes also said that he is not insisting that the center be built at Lajes, but that he objects to the fact that the military never considered it as an option.

But the department never looked at Lajes because it doesn’t have the sophisticated communications and other characteristics needed “to meet the mission requirements of an intelligence facility,” Navy Lt. Cmdr. Courtney Hillson, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told The Daily Beast.
