Mike Johnson has spent hours insisting he can swear Grivalja in any time, geez, guys what’s all the fuss about, when he could, you know, just swear her in.

NO KINGS

the momentum has grown such that "they" are now saying a single word of "NO" is enough for u sign to have a message

I'm still thinking. This is going to be historical

I think I'm going with just a giant no on a big sign

I also think it's the amt.of bodies that count most ??

📌So I see one convicted felon just commuted the sentence of another convicted felon.

The epitome of MAGA: lawless.

This is the first time I've seen this ... second, deep dive look?

Neither does anyone believe Epstein committed suicide.

It's called silencing ....

We don't know convincingly without a THOROUGH second look.

But you could cancel the filibuster and pass it yourselves. If you wanted to take full responsibility for the increase in health insurance premiums.

I just commented not 5 minutes ago ... "Watch Trump find a place for him in his administration."

... one of those times you hate to be right.

The most interesting about Trump springing George Santos from prison is that Trump is still in the Epstein Files.

So much this ... that stroke cause far more damage than we know of. Stroke = complete change of philosophy.

That, plus if he resigns/loses his Senate seat he will not have employment.

So ... 4K+ (that we know of) isn't enough to protect the US?

Or, are you afraid of making Putin angry?

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Trump is so egocentric and self deceived he doesn't even see the repeated times he has been played.

Not just Putin but Xi, even our allies ... all you have to do is compliment him and he laps it up like a lonely puppy.

As John Kelly said, "Trump is the most flawed person he’s ever met."

Agreed.
