I can’t wait to find out if the deal Trump gave to the Hamas leaders was as good as the one he gave to the Taliban.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

What’s he worried about? They’re licking his nutsack. Contentedly lying about the peace deal which is about bribery & real estate. Not about the lives of those Netanyahu murdered. I mean, Netanyahu stalled ending the annihilation of Palestinians until Trump was in power. Not a care in the world.

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?
