Remember when Bush came into office and they accused the Clinton predecessors of removing the W from the keyboards?

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Feds doing *traffic stops*:

“THP, ATF and FBI officers surrounded the car with a handicap placard hanging from the rearview mirror driven by an elderly Black woman and man….The woman … said the officers told her they pulled her over because the registration tags were not up to date [they were].”
Make it to … a meeting? Is he worried China might miss its flight?

I mean, Jesus Christ. Whatever else you think about China it’s currently in no danger of “not making it.”
Trump: "I think China is in big trouble. I'll be honest with you. I don't know that they even make it."
I might have seen one Marxist and this is San Francisco.
CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America?

REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.

(slaps bar counter) “Alright, Chip, let’s have those car keys”
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

The current estimate is that more than 7 million people turned out at more than 2700 rallies across the country
It was the largest one-day protest against a sitting president in American history
Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."
He didn’t look at the people. I did. (I was one of the people.) They could not have been more representative of the country, except for the whack-out percentage which was well below average, especially for San Francisco.

And all the signs were homemade.

Right, so that’s murder. The president has murdered a couple dozen people at least. And yet in the same interview Paul says he’s the murderer’s biggest supporter and would defend him against impeachment again. So that’s where the GOP is now. Murder not grounds for impeachment.
Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
Alleged Christian Mike Johnson lies constantly and seems to have no problem with murder. Even if all these boats really were “full of fentanyl,” it would still be murder. “Some of these drugs might eventually kill some Americans” is not an imminent threat. This is just murder.
KARL: Don't you have questions about Venezuela?

JOHNSON: What about it?

K: The targeting of these boats. You have no questions about how they're doing it?

J: No. I believe in peace through strength. You take out one boat full of fentanyl, you save hundreds of thousands of American lives

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.
“This is what democracy looks like.”
“This is what America looks like.”

If the administration has such great evidence that these targets are narcoterrorists who pose an imminent threat to the national security of the United States, why are they not being tried in our criminal courts? 🤔
Breaking news: The United States plans to repatriate two alleged drug traffickers to Colombia and Ecuador after military forces attacked their vessel in the Caribbean on Thursday.

It is unclear if the two surviving alleged drug smugglers have any links to Venezuelan criminal organizations.

Rep. Adam Smith to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "All they’ve said is, these people are part of a drug-running gang and we killed them ... I’ve never been in a situation like this where there has been less information provided to Congress on the details."

What does he think’s going to happen there with the no-ports problem? Still gonna be portless after his trip.

Looking forward to him blaming Joe Biden for Hungary being landlocked.
Trump: "Hungary is in a very interesting position because they can't have ports. You know, they're surrounded by land. So we'll see what happens there."

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.
