The fact that Speaker Johnson is outright lying about why he won’t swear in the member of Congress only attests to the fact that he has his lips so locked onto Trumps ass he has Cheeto dust dripping off his chin.

Of course, beating women is not "really serious". This is not the first time this ass has been accused of this and it will not be the last. But being an abuser is a requirement for MAGA leadership so no one should be shocked. Remember this is Christianity without Jesus and those woke morals

Wait I thought he was the "peace" president? This dude really seems to love war and getting the US into quagmires that will last for years.

Couple this with a drop in the labor force as we deport many of the construction workers and many others are too scared to go to work, any project is going to be cost prohibitive.

I don't understand the whole "freedumb" movement. "I can do whatever I want whenever I want. I don't think about anyone else" yet these are the same guys who are banning books, anti LGBTQ, voting for severe restrictions on abortion and insisting their kids are allowed in schools. Community is DEAD

Someone please find out how much this ass makes personally from this grift! @cnbc.com Besset and his hedge fund buddies were on the hook on their bets in Argentia. Trump just bailed them all out so how much was this worth to them individually?

Just remember all supplements are regulated by the FDA as food not drugs. GOP members of Congress for years have objected to any regulation of this industry so it truly is buyer beware and there is little to no scientific evidence for any of these supplements and of course little to no testing.

They are micro targeted at only certain homes and accounts. I would love to see the targeting data. Can you target white supremacist or racist or unemployed gamer incel?

ummmmmmmm who is going to tell him about the plaque in the closet that his party refuses to post in the Capital? Who is going to tell him that his party refused to acknowledge the insurrection that cost the lives of honorable men and women protecting their lives? Who is going to tell him that ...

Seems they found their spine after their initial capitulation. There were protests on and off campus. This would not have gone well if they caved again.

Let me get this straight. Trump destroys trade, trading partner moves on, trump blames trading partners, blah blah. This market has moved on $16 billion to nada for soybeans.
