'Losing their grip': GOP 'worried' about growing anti-Trump sentiment
Indivisible organizer Ezra Levin told CNN anchor Dana Bash that there’s a reason Congressional Republicans and their affiliates are attacking protestors this weekend. Bash pointed referenced a Wall Street Journal reporting that the Trump administration is planning to overhaul the IRS, with one if its goals being the pursuit of left wing groups like Levin’s. “He’s already got a list of potential targets, I can't imagine that Indivisible, which helps plan these giant protests against the president, … would not be on it. Are you preparing for this?” Bash asked. “Well, Dana. What do they say? First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win,” said Levin. “We're one step from winning. They're not ignoring us. They're not laughing at us. They are worried about peaceful, broad-based protests all around the country. And that's true of any authoritarian regime anywhere in the world.” “The number 1 thing they fear is peaceful protests, because authoritarian regimes depend on convincing the populace that they are alone and weak and that [the regime] is all powerful. So, I'm not surprised,” Levin added. “But it is really troubling and it's unconstitutional and it's illegal. But we're not going to back down.” Bash played a series of clips of Republicans bashing protestors, including one with House Speaker Mike Johnson describing them as the “Pro-Hamas wing” of the Democratic party. Levin admitted that the GOP is ramping up its hostility against angry voters, but questioned why they were escalating their rhetoric at this time. “The question is, why are they coming at us now?” asked Levin. “And it's because they are worried that they are losing their grip on power. They are worried that other people in blue states, red states and purple states, in rural communities, in Trump country, are going to see the public doesn't support them. And that makes them scared.” “I think what they're doing is backfiring. Our numbers are skyrocketing,” Levin added, citing more than 2,600 protest events planned across the nation and “more RSVPs” than at the June “No Kings” protests.” - YouTube youtu.be

On the 8th of August 1963, The Great Train Robbery took place, they stole £2.63m.

That's far less even with inflation than the £145m Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe.

They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

Let his courage call to all of us, whatever country we’re in. Resist evil power. Don’t comply. They rely on our unquestioning subservience.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
