There is no doubt that Johnson will not swear her in. Like all MAGAs and his sex-offender boss, protecting the rich and powerful pedophiles, many of whom helped by the White House for Trump is the most important test they can pass to prove they love trump more than America.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

She's GREAT, but that hasn't a damn thing to do with the courage of the winner who, unlike Felon 47, risks her life to free Venezuela from a dictator as damaging to Venezuela as Trump is to America.

The long time member of the Alt-Right fascist organization racist Steve Bannon, editor of Brietbart.bs founded, claims to be a Christian while quoting Joseph Goebbels nazi propaganda. The Hitler lover of Jewish descent hates nonwhite human beings in America; hates facts, and nonwhites in America.

I was born in Boston. I was born a Lakota Indian. I was taught to love America in spite of the genocide perpetuated upon my people. I enlisted into the USARMY in 1965 and arrived in Saigon 6 months later.

I’m not sure who this comedian is but man he’s so great!! Sometimes comedy has a special way of getting a message across! He ponders on the question “Is America Great Yet?”

I know. I just don't know why, aside from moral cowardice or financial concerns, as thug 47 extorts them.

Better this than masked ICE thugs breaking into the cars of nonwhite mothers trying to pick up their children, while ICE gasses the whole school in order to kidnap nonwhite parents OR children.

Slackermom @slackermom.bsky.social · 5h

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Did you guys ever run a coffee shop in Fayetteville N. C. in 1970 called, "Haymarket Square". After I got my Beret, I used to stop in their debate Marxists on facts. I had a special communication with one lady, and one of the guys drove back to base when I was too drunk to know my own name.

Yup. The leader of the January 6th, violent 2021 terrorist attack on the Capitol, Felon 47, likes terrorists. He likes them so much that he pardoned hundreds of convicted felons who maimed cops in Trump's name that day; then hired many of them as ICE terrorists.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia is calling on Chairman Comer to "immediately schedule a date for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify" before the Committee.

What! A general during Felon 47's second term who WON'T abandon his oath to protect and preserve the US Constitution?
What will our self-confessed, unrepentant, serial sex offender DO WITH AN ACTUAL PATRIOT! (Yea. He will call him a woke traitor, and try to fire him.)

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Lord, I hope Bibi honors this truce. Yet, Felon 47 authored the plan. Like, when his "Itsjustabadflu" completely destroyed the US economy and killed over a million of us? What ever the racist sex offender touched touches turns to crap. May it NOT be so this time.
