Jason,

I think it is awful that you are showing video of Mike Johnson without giving him the opportunity to explain himself. Oh wait, maybe the video is actually of him trying to explain himself.

Like his constituents, I seem to be more certain about Mike every day.

Bluesky is not immune to trolls. We must be vigilant. Confirm then call out false information at all times.

Well done!

The orange morons immunity may not be so impenetrable. We will need to see, in the end, whether that immunity holds up against the attempt to overthrow our Constitutional Democracy.

Clearly the House and the Senate can hold an impeachment trial followed with a conviction and remove him from office.

The MAGA FASCISTS always have a justification for their criminal behavior and outrage and a consequence for everyone else's supposed transgressions.
December 2, 2025 at 12:29 AM
A very interesting observation. I'll be thinking about your commentary for a while.

In the end she will be convicted. The charges will run the gamut of constitutional failures along with complicity. The time it will take to complete all the trials will much like the Watergate trials and convictions. The nation will be exhausted by the time it is all over.

If democracy survives.

Until the full unredacted Epstein files are released, it will be a slow leak. Important in its own right but not sufficient to sink the ship. The MAGA Fascist dupes need evidence so strong it cannot be ignored or explained away.

Elon is still nothing more than a self-absorbed 12-year-old in an adult body.

Agreed! The fascist orange morons definition of masculinity is a disaster for women. The men who follow in his steps need to grow up and the women who support that behavior need to look at the faces of their daughters and sons and think about the future they are trying to create.

Part of the slow walk to Fascism.
-Build a private military, ICE
-Build a strong base of support you control. Pardon criminals like you.
-Corrupt the Judiciary, Educational system, Political leadership and military
-Control media, Big business
-Condition population to military in the streets

Ah, what a classic. Hours as a kid watching Jonny Quest. Another classic highly thought of from the past was Thunderbirds.

A few minutes with a smile on my face thinking about these. Thanks.

Remember what Homan said during an TV interview with Adams, He would return to New York and be "in his office, up his butt. Saying where the hell is the agreement we came to?"

Only approved information is fed to the populace in a dictatorship. After a short time, you believe the message because it is the only thing you get to "know".
November 30, 2025 at 3:27 AM
The dictatorship slowly tightening grip on what a subject (instead of citizen) is allowed to do.

Attacking a country that has little chance of fighting back, (Ukraine, Venezuela) in a "Special Military Operation", creates the pretext for expanded war powers within the administration.

This all could end by the end of next month if the former Republicans reclaimed their Constitutionally mandated powers and said enough is enough. If they will not do this, we wait for the midterms. The big question is will there be elections? And if there are, will they be real elections?
November 30, 2025 at 3:09 AM
Mike Johnson,

It is not the political system that is the problem. It is the corrupt people within the system that are protected by other corrupt people within the system. RELEASE THE UNREDACTED FILES! The mid-terms and the courts will correct the system.

Without the scientists who look at things that seem to make no sense at all, Gila monster saliva, many of our most important discoveries would never have happened. Every time a Repub goes crazy over Gov spending on seemingly weird research, their ignorance is showing. Thank God for scientists.

My experience with war veterans, having worked with one WW2 P-38/P-51 pilot and two Vietnam vets is that they do not get intimidated. In fact, any attempted intimidation generally does not go well for the intimidator. I would suggest Bondi and Patel think twice about trying to intimidate them.
November 25, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Slotkin is right on the money here. The orange moron and the MAGA FASCISTS know they are right at the point of no return. Bannon said it out loud. If they lose the midterms many of them are going to jail. They know that. The orange moron knows that. Miller knows that. The Oligarchs are insulated!
November 23, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Other than her support and action to help the survivors of Epstein and friends, the current crop of MAGA FASCISTS are always self-serving. I will give thanks and a hand shake for her work to help get all the information released but will keep a close watch out for the expected grift to follow.
November 23, 2025 at 1:37 PM
Have you noticed that those who serve the orange moron all have the same look in their eyes. Empty, Dead, Hopeless. The look of a tormented soul that knows why.

Normally I'd feel pity for these souls but all I want is for them to feel the weight of the law when they are held accountable.
November 23, 2025 at 4:15 AM
One more thought. It wasn't when your parents were yelling at you that you freaked out. IT WAS WHEN THEY WENT SILENT!

No more talk. NO MORE TALK.... Silence except for the relentless legal arrests, charges and convictions of those acting lawlessly in our country based on the rule of law.
November 23, 2025 at 4:09 AM
If state Attorney Generals started filing criminal charges against the leaders in charge of ICE units in their states. If mayors directed their local police forces to arrest any ICE goon committing illegal actions and then charging them. We could help those who are acting lawlessly to stop.
November 23, 2025 at 4:02 AM
The Epstein family needs to release all the files, unredacted. The victims need to provide the names to either the House or Senate Democrats so this cannot be stopped or manipulated.

The complicit repubs will do anything to protect themselves and their benefactors. They cannot be trusted.
November 19, 2025 at 3:13 AM
Once all the Epstein files are released the next target should be the $50,000.00 Homan bribe payoff video.

Expose and take away the ability to deny. After that, extreme shaming and/or criminal charges at every turn so that they just want to crawl back into the holes they came from.
