Mike Johnson thinks the No Kings rallies are threat but he’s cool with January 6 felons being pardoned so they can commit more crimes—just like their Orange diva god-king.

This is the GOP now: selective legality, selective framing, selective constitutionality.

And *they* do the selecting.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Are you fucking kidding? Johnson is like hegseth---inexperienced for the job he has. The only reason he one is because he is attractive and well dressed to the young people. He looks like a movie star, whereas Vallas---not so much.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

Mike Johnson isn't Christian.
He proves that every day.
But he IS a numerologist.
He fears 218.

We The People are “the brave.”

WE stand up to fascists—armed masked cowards, “strongmen” who rape little girls, criminals in suits who order families ripped apart and tortured in concentration camps. Pathetic fascist losers.

Politicians, media, courts all fail. WE WILL WIN.
