oh my god this @ErinBurnett block with Rudy's son is a total train wreck
Burnett: You need probably cause to get a warrant
A. Giuliani: Only a corrupt Obama judge would sign it. No other judge would sign it.
Burnett: Do you have proof no other judge would sign?
A. Giuliani: No. Do YOU have any?
EB: What was your dad's reaction to his former office investigating him?
AG: They're corrupt! What about [Hunter Biden & others not in SDNY jurisdiction]?
EB: Hunter is under investigation by a Trump US Attorney
AG: Why didn't they take a laptop dad said he gave them last year?
EB: President Biden says he didn't know that SDNY was going to serve a search warrant on your dad. Do you have any reason to not believe him?
AG: Uh, the Neil Kinnock thing
EB: He's not interfering in the probe of his son, you know
AG: Yeah but he might want to!
EB: But he hasn't

There are some good points here. Cutting the defense budget has become politically toxic for many bipartisan reasons but I can't say that I have ever read anything about the F-35 that doesn't include it being awful in one way or another. Some examples: 1/x
"The pricey new stealth jet can’t turn or climb fast enough to hit an enemy plane during a dogfight or to dodge the enemy’s own gunfire, the pilot reported following a day of mock air battles back in January." 2/x medium.com/war-is-boring/…
