If using chemical agents is illegal everywhere else in the world, why does DHS get to use it on Americans? Teargas, Bear spray, etc. 'Splain it to me like I'm in Kindergarten.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Jackson Mississippi has three times the per capita murder rate compared to Chicago. But Mississippi is a red state and Illinois is a blue state. Pay attention to what trump is doing. If he was fighting crime he would be focusing on red states. Chicago isn't even top 10.
