I'm tired, boss. Tired of his words. Tired of his face...

Day in... never sleeps. Day out... Fen-phen phenomenon.

Gut churning legacy. Gut full of McGreedy.

When will he go away? Boss?

I'm so, so very weary.

The silence he creates... dreadful. Go, away.

Pam Bondi’s evasiveness and defensiveness during Senate hearing Tuesday when asked about Jeffrey Epstein are what prosecutors call “consciousness of guilt.” In this case, she is guilty of covering up for those involved in Epstein sex ring. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...

Pam Bondi just reminded us that she's part of the Jeffrey Epstein cover up

Tuesday's Senate hearing gave us even more proof

Soon I'll just stop going to Schnucks. I don't want to have to interact with a line and cashier every time, and I don't want to have to listen to that voice every time either, so that leave me no choice.

I'm starting to just say out loud "why are you yelling" to anyone/anything that is forcing me to listen to them/it. #Schnucks just updated their self checkout so that you can no longer mute the annoying, crazy loud voice. So now, I say "why are you yelling at me" loudly to it every time.

This is exactly the kind of language Stephen Miller was railing against; let us all not hold our breathes to see if he denounces Trump's hate speech.

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Has a single “journalist” in mainstream media asked Trump, Mike Johnson or John Thune why they haven’t used their Senate majority to override the 60 vote threshold and reopen the government?

I heard they are calling for your arrest for this very reason.

Why won't they listen to the people? The people that make up the streets, the people that tell you they aren't afraid to leave their houses? Why are the meek in charge of everything right now?

I'M NOT SCARED, are you?

Yup. Make people desperate, and the hope is they'll follow you. They're running a playbook from before the Internet existed, though, so it's going to be a lot harder for them to blame all the death and starvation on the "other" when we are all sharing videos of them saying they want us to die.

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

Tweet from @TheDemocrats:
“Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they’ve done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.”

Adam Schiff- Harvard Law School
Pam Bondi- some small Florida law school

And she has the nerve asking Schiff if he is a lawyer????

I wish the press would cover this more explicitly. It is right before US.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Now that there's no #NLRB, workers will now have to go back to showing up at the factory owner's front door in order to get their fair pay. The CEOs that were so scared of the alleged #Mangione assassination, are gonna be pretty shocked when they open their doors to a Mushroom Kingdom army. #NoKings

I love how defeated Johnson sounded when he said that he'd do it whenever she wanted haha. His silver tongue wasn't shining so bright in that moment, was it? Bahaha
