NO DMs. Retired caregiver, Navy vet, Quaker, grandma, porn writer, pro-Constitution, pro-DEI, pro-UBI - any other way I can piss you off? 36 years with a wonderful woman in OR (four kids), widowed in 2020, now in IL with another. Guess I like marriage.

Thousands of hateful chats between Young Republicans have been unearthed by Politico.

If you’ve been paying attention these last few years, none of them will surprise you.

These people have been telling us exactly who they are, and too many people refuse to believe it.

Believe it. Then fight back

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Deliberately (yes, it was clearly deliberate) hitting clergy in the head with pepper balls while they stood on the sidewalk praying (yes, that's what they were doing, not blocking traffic - watch the video) doesn't "cross the line" for little Johnson.

But ride past them on a bicycle naked...!

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

...too on the nose, there.
What brought it too mind, though, was their Third Amendment, which read, "The inalienable right of the people to turn right on red shall not be infringed".

I remember a story in which there was a new Constitution, complete with a new Bill of Rights which included a First Amendment which read, "Freedom of reasonable and decent speech, and of a responsible and patriotic press, shall not be excessively infringed". Eek! A bit...

Kristi Noem is BIG MAD at Chicagoans. Suddenly the 3rd Amendment is relevant again?

So, what are you willing to do?

Will you become part of the new Underground Railroad, sheltering and transporting people whom ICE is looking for?

Will you at least keep your mouth shut if you find out your neighbors are Conductors?

The bar is about to go from “my distant white relatives enabled slavery but I would never” to…..”I sat back and watched Latinos get kidnapped and put into slavery despite having the power to stop it”.
