Trump's vision for Democracy is open to "Paid Subscribers Only." There's a paywall for participation. Corporations, universities, law firms and those with money must come before the King bearing gifts. If the King is not satisfied with your gift, you must pay again. Restricted for non-subscribers.

Johnson can run scared all he wants, but Epstein (from his grave) will finish Trump and his pathetic sycophants sooner than later.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

The government shutdown keeps snarling air travel. Officials say it could get worse

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The obvious answer is because you’re implicated in organizing with treasonous criminals who attempted to overthrow the government and they want to know what you said to them, you seditious piece of shit
