MIKE JOHNSON, THE "LIMPEST DICK" IN DC, CALLED NO-KINGS DAY A "HATE AMERICA RALLY." HOLY MIKE CAN FUCK STRAIGHT OFF WITH THAT NONSENSE. HOW ABOUT DOING YOUR JOB FOR ONCE AND RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLY MY GREATEST POST EVER. LINK: IS HERE: bit.ly/48WrAIv

free clue for Mike Johnson: this is not a ‘hate America’ rally. we don’t hate America, you asshole. if we did, we’d be cheering Donny Convict’s fascist fuckery — because that shit is tearing America apart, and destroying it faster than our adversaries could have ever hoped.
