FETTERMANCHIN. This fuck totally lied about his stroke b4 the election, and a bunch of us idiots stuck with him. We were made fools of. Fettermanchin has to go immediately. If the DNC financially supports him, I will withdraw my (considerable) financial support from the DNC.

We're keeping track of all of Mike Johnson's crimes against America and the people who live here, right?

To no one's surprise, he's committing multiple right now. While causing undue suffering to millions of Americans. All to protect billionaire pedos.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

• The vast majority of National Guard members have day jobs or are enrolled in school.

• Close to half of them are parents.

• They are being deployed in their own country while the public overwhelmingly opposes it.

• They are not even being paid due to the government shutdown.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Senate Democrats argue with Johnson about the government shutdown and swearing in an elected House member: "You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge. Why don't you bring back your Republican members so we can have serious negotiation? Get your people in and stop covering up for pedophiles."

I’m don’t think there’s any doubt about this.

Republicans and Trump are absolutely shitting themselves over the evidence against Trump in the Epstein files.

Dana Houle @danahoule.bsky.social · 13h

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

#ResistanceUnited ICYMI, South Carolina judge Diane Goodstein's house burned down conveniently after an anti-trump ruling...Diane, her husband Arnold, and son Arnold II were injured but they survived. Such brutality and viciousness must never be normalized.

Toldya. He was seeing if he could get away with bombing Venezuelans, and now he's going to go after Americans.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.
