Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 22h

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.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

When the shit goes down everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place.

Trumps name isn’t in the file - right?
So just release the file.
It’s that simple.

Clinton is on the list - he hasn’t been charged either, but you want that…. So do I.
What’s good for one pervert is good for them all, right?

I guess you missed Epstein’s death - in prison. There’s a file - have you missed that? Gislain Maxwell - you never heard of her. The NDAs, dozens of them. Whatever, fascist bot.
Or are you just questioning the learning disability issue? If so, the answer is covfefe.

Paul Newland @epiousios.bsky.social · 23h

The president who has an LD and cannot read gets rid of the office that would identify his special needs disability.
Like Covid, if you don’t test, the problem goes away.

Oh, trump also rapes little girls.

Something to applaud from orange child rapist .
However, since I can still here the echo of the abuse he threw at Zelenskyy this year, I feel like America is being led by a petulant, tired toddler with an ice cream in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other.

And trump is still a child rapist.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...
