Being unaware of a *few* things that are important, but inconvenient, might suggest an inattention to things it is your job to pay attention to.

Being unaware of *everything* that is inconvenient means you are definitely a liar. Sanctimonious Pixie Mike Johnson is a liar.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

The new talking point from the Speaker of the House is that the No Kings rallies were about calling for the murder of political opponents??

The way they defame the American people is insane.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Sean Hannity predicted absolute bedlam at the 'No Kings' rallies this past Saturday. It was closer to a giant party - completely with inflatable costumes and dancing!

This would explain the determination for the entire Republican leadership to hide the Epstein files at any cost. We know by now that Republicans are no more then courtiers for Wall street. Looks like the Epstein saga has the potential to expose the whole Bourgeoisie depravity at its core.

JPMC knew of suspected sexual assaults. But, it is the feds DOJ,NYPD, Palm Beach PD, and other jurisdictions that had to investigate and charge for sexual assault, sexual abuse of minors. And the real problem is that Fed prosecutor
Acosta and Fl AG Bondi step in. 1/2

Here’s the other big problem: Treasury Secretary Bessent is sitting on a massive Epstein file containing thousands more bank documents that would help us continue to follow the money through his sex trafficking ring.
