Mike Johnson if he had been alive in 1776:

"We expect the “Hate England” gathering in Philadelphia to be filled with angry rants and totally false narratives.

"Their so-called 'No Kings' meeting is only meant to smear a fine man in George III who is only trying to make the colonies great again."

Folks as of today there's a non-zero chance that the White House collapses and kills everyone inside.

Have a wonderful day.

a tyrant is ignoring the constitution, firing live artillery at americans, invading our cities, and tearing down the white house to build himself a palace

our institutions won't react because they're lost in a digital dreamstate, unable to decide what is true because of social media poisoning

Based on current trends and the way congress and the Supreme Court have bent the knee, there won't be a third term. The second term will become permanent. He will declare he is protecting the nation from illegal voting, and simply not allow elections or election results.

A bit of advice to all my brothers and sisters in Portland and SF. If there is enough of an "emergency" in my city to send in the national guard (or someone elses' State guard), then there's enough of an emergency for me not to have to show up for work. Sounds too dangerous to me travel. Sorry boss!

The basic appeal of fascism is not a mystery to me. But as long as I live, I will never understand why a sizable plurality of the American ruling class enthusiastically embraced as their leader the dumbest, laziest, and most violent motherfucker on the face of the earth

If Obama had torn down sections of the White House, started a national gun registry, and deployed troops in American cities, people would be calling it a full-blown civil war.

If one truly wants to see how far down the road of totalitarianism we have already gone, just scroll the Dep't of Homeland Security's Facebook page. It is the most Orwellian stuff I have ever seen, never thought I would see in America.

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

History has taught us that Americans will tolerate government overreach when the economy is good.

The question now is: will they tolerate fascism while eggs are $8, healthcare costs go up, and no one can get a job?

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

Don Winslow:

They want to go after "Antifa" because it has no leader, no organization, no bank accounts, etc...

This way they can say anyone is Antifa.

This way they can do anything they want.

That's it. That's the whole Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus/Antifa fantasy.

It's to go after YOU.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.
