Assuming there’s no legit press corps in attendance to push back. So, he’s just saying this for one person‘s sake. It all intersects with Trump‘s fantasy land where Jan 6 was a “love fest…”
They gaslight us as much as Trump wants to be gaslighted.

Dude was grabbed for Rod Stewart karaoke with “you guys are Nazis, get out out of Portland” lyrics. That’s all he was doing. Then three of them in tactical gear came for him in his giraffe outfit. 3rd one points a pellet gun at the crowd.

Assholes.

No, dick. Americans from all walks of life will show up this Saturday because YOU are trying to move this country AWAY from the foundational truths of this republic.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

I’m certain he’s under a desk. Whether Trump’s or his own.

“held on suspicion”…in another state.

This is how they try to cow us.

*Suspicion* is horseshit. That’s a POV, not evidence. Yet, they can still disappear you.

This is required of any US Governor at this point.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

It’s literally *internationally understood* that you have to suck up to the thin-skinned, self-absorbed orange man simply to keep in good stead.

Vought is a zealot with his hands on numerous levers.
His vision for the country is extreme and Trump *lied* about his association with Project 2025, of which Vought was an architect.
The more exposure Vought (and Miller) gets, the better people will understand the peril our democracy is in.

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 3d

But there is nothing noble or respectable about what Vought is doing, about his vision for the country. He is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue. He lusts for counter-revolution and radical measures. There is no line he doesn’t feel justified to cross.

jaycmartin35.bsky.social @jaycmartin35.bsky.social · 3d

Miller will call us anarchists, insurrectionists…nah. We’re Americans.
And we don’t do kings.

- Tariffs
- “Mass Deportation Now”

Two absolute pillars of his campaign that MAGA crowds cheered for deliriously. And would result in higher costs for…all of it.

Simultaneously, “everything’s too expensive”…

An astounding lack of common sense and logic. Do they not know how things work?

Or…cult?
