Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Oncologist Dr. Symington has been called a “liberal bitch,” and “pharma whore,” in rural Rock Springs, WY: “When I retire, I don't think they'll be able to recruit anyone,…”

Works for me. 😏

Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

The Guardian: “‘This is so vile’: Young Republicans face backlash after racist chats leaked;” Oct. 15, ‘25.

Not to the Vice President of the United States, who went ballistic over Charlie Kirk but finds this sort of “frat guy” thing. And this guy is one swollen ankle from the Presidency.

And misogyny….

This is so true. And, increasingly it seems that the destruction could take several generations to unravel. That bit today about the Young Republicans and what they wrote/represent is both terrifying and repulsive.

Uh, Congressman, you are aware of the party to which you claim fealty, right?

Right?

It is equally perplexing that the soybean farmers in Iowa voted in very large numbers for the regime which did this to them - perhaps permanently as is the attention Dems are now giving to a constituency who in the main - and to put it mildly - loathes them.

Murkowski, Sullivan and all in the Alaska delegation who constantly flirt and side-step and dance with Trump, rather than lead, have this on their hands as do the Alaskans who return them to office repeatedly.

Well, large swaths of this country not only “let it happen” but demand/ed it. We may not survive it; but, we will never forget….

NO. She fucking isn't. Yeah big tent and all that? Fuck that. You don't get to side with the Nazis for years and then "change your mind". You realize you made a mistake? Fine, admit it, and get in the back of the bus. That goes for Conway, Wilson, Cheney, and all rest of the "never Trumpers" too.

I wonder if Greer ever wakes up in the morning, looks in the mirror, and wonders how he ever became so woefully inept…
