Not entirely true.

When Mike Johnson chooses to ignore that mother's pleas and keep the government closed because he'd rather protect a convicted criminal and pedophile president than answer to the American people--

THAT tells you everything you need to know about this moment.

And "He's" the person America elected as their president?

Says more about this country than it does about him, sadly.

Investigative journalism is dead.

Though many will claim otherwise, an honest autopsy will show it was suicide.

This country owes them a big debt of gratitude.

The DOJ and FBI were surveilling GOP senators because they're crooks.
Arresting crooks is what law enforcement is supposed to do.
