When you don't expect to ever be held accountable, your reputation doesn't enter the equation.

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.

Yeah. It breaks my heart because I was digging these books since the summer of 2003. They’re my favorite book series. The HBO show killed ASOIAF. I’ll never forgive it for that.

The only course of action that will succeed is for political leadership to call for a nationwide general strike. Shut down everything until he & his entire cabinet are removed.

This means former POTUS, VPs, current Senators & Reps, governors & mayors must all form a resistance & organize a strike.

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.
