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.

It is Tuesday, October 14th and our federal government is still shut down.

Thousands of federal workers will not be getting paid.

This alone will throw the finances of American families into chaos.

He’s sitting there lapping up the praise like the smug egotistical shit he is, while at home in the US he is acting like a dictator and eroding citizens rights.

THIS DEAL HAS THE STENCH OF 2 DIRTY CONMEN

Why did Netanyahu suddenly agree to a deal? Why are he and Trump so happy?

What does the agreement say?

Is it a financial windfall for Trump and his family? What corner of Israel will the Palestinians live in?

Newsweek: The Midwest, the region Trump promised to revive factory jobs & “America First” trade policies, is showing signs of disillusionment. Trump’s favorability fell to 49%, one of his weakest showings nationwide.

Elect a rapist, expect to get fucked!

BANNON told TRUMP if you break all the laws at once no one can stop us.
MILLER told TRUMP he could use the military in the USA and no one can stop us.
VANCE told THEIL that he could control Congress.
MUSK told TRUMP he could rig the election.
TRUMP told MAGA they were the true patriots.

LIARS lie.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

Wasn’t it convenient that Trump just happened to be in front of cameras when he was given the note about the deal in the Middle East. He never misses a photo opportunity does he.

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?

Just when I think the whole world is rotten and full of greed, along comes Greta to remind me that there are many good people still fighting the good fight.

I also have a load of auto immune stuff but experience the worst pain when it’s really hot and humid. I hate the shortened days and early dark but welcome the cooler weather (not too cold though)

Greta Thunberg and the other people released from the Global Sumud Flotilla need to put a documentary together on their time in Israeli detention and show the world what Israel is really like.

The immigrants are a distraction, The noise that prevents everything else being heard.Not just the lists of good that PM Starmer’s government are doing but the existential crisis we need to face. It is easier to shout about migrants than confront Putin’s war in Europe or Climate Change. But we must!

All we ever hear about or read about is migration, racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Hardly anything else gets a look in.

Well I’m sick to bloody death of it. It’s like some self fulfilling Farage wet dream.

Britain and its people are about so much more than this.

Labour need to be shouting from the rooftops about their achievements and plans. Stop the thieving Tories and the self important nobody Farage from dominating the media.

We may be a few days on from the Labour Party Conference, but it's worth looking back at some of the major announcements this week!

NHS online. Maintenance loans. Social care fair pay. New towns. More Green energy jobs. More school libraries. More breakfast clubs. Supporting JLR.

Farage's financial affairs merit an entire Newsnight edition of their own. Definitely time for an "unexplained wealth order" directed to him.

The msm pursued the Rayner story in such detail it forced her resignation . Now there’s a much bigger scandal concerning Farage of possible treason it’s like they’ve forgotten how to spell investigate & corruption. It’s not only Farage who has a Russian problem, if our msm protects him we all do .
