Trump supporters are aroused by stuff like this.

I guess my question would be, what's Johnson's goal here? How long can he stall? Is all of this worth a couple weeks' delay...or is he expecting something else to happen that will make congressional votes meaningless?

There was no "justice" occurring there to obstruct.

This sense of entitlement is exactly why (among so many other reasons) Trump didn't deserve it. He doesn’t care about peace. He just wanted a shiny prize.

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

This is interesting. And unfortunate.

A Strange Choice for the Peace Prize

Machado has been cheering on Trump’s military buildup in the Caribbean and even praising his murderous boat attacks.

Has he "truthed" about it yet?

Odd Kelvin @ok616.bsky.social · 1d

Kind of bizarre that the president who's been threatening other countries nonstop, bombed Yemen and Iran, keeps blowing up random boats in the Caribbean, and is trying to incite a civil war as we speak was ever considered a "peace prize" candidate to begin with, but here we are.

I will never forgive anyone who voted for this.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

“The #InsurrectionAct requires a violent rebellion trying to take over the government that does not exist, doesn't exist in Portland, DC, Chicago, L.A., anywhere. But they like the power that these emergency, laws provide to them…And so they lie about the factual circumstances” - CA AG Bonta to me

MASSIVE BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the deployment of troops into Chicago by Trump.

The judge has ruled that Trump lacks authority and that his “rebellion” claims were NOT credible.

Watch out for Nazi gazpacho in your neighborhood.

Brandi Buchman @brandibuchman.bsky.social · 2d

Hey, @dailymail.co.uk, in your puff piece:

Even if this "journalist" said the word gazpacho, you need to point this out, buds.

Gazpacho is cold soup.
Gestappo are nazi secret police.
You can remember the difference because cold soup doesn't shoot pepper balls into a pastor's head.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

BREAKING: Trump Admin 'Seriously' Considering Using the Insurrection Act, Reports NBC

There are moments here and there when you can tell Rand Paul could have been awesome, but then you remember he'll be back to kneeling to Trump tomorrow.

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

It's interesting sometimes, the things conservatives think are equivalent.

And here I thought human rights came free with being a fucking human being. It's weird and deceitful to frame this as if trans people are demanding some special unique privileges everyone else doesn't have, too
