If you support the left you support the shutdown? It’s weak at best. First you have to believe Dems caused the shutdown before you can believe king is good, actually. The public isn’t swallowing. In this battle, we are winning, and they know it.

Hahahaz Thats going to look great next to coverage of a lot of silly inflatable costumes and a completely normal crowd with babies in strollers and veterans in wheelchairs.

Their continued efforts to summon a violent, hard core, unhinged demon from the left would be funny if it wasnt so fucked up.

If you believe in the horseshoe theory, MTG might just slip off on end and end up on the other side.

Yes, I agree. The fact that republicans are dickheads and not gentlemen is boring. Enough. She doesn’t work for Johnson, she works for us. I suggest her staff or someone film a swearing in, in public to the constitution and the people and get it to go viral. Rub it in that we are ready to work!

Weirdly truthful thing to say. Maybe the dementia will have him blurting out details of the things he knows prohibit him before this is over.

He said he called the local office of our GOP about the reps support of Trump's policies.
I went there to give them their mail I got.
2 hrs we talked about what's happening.
And the nearest #NoKings march.

Teachers are under siege not for anything they do wrong, but for what they do right.

Brilliant to bring up one of the worst scandals again! Hopefully maga will have new eyes for that as well.

Who loves America is crystal clear.

When they aren’t lying they are just claiming incompetence or ignorance instead. What leadership.

Y’all can fight over it all you want. None of you can spend two years murdering people and then pretend peace is something of value to you.

Fuck all of you.

Anyone building in Gaza should be publicly shamed. Their gleeful pride here is offensive. I hope all properties are cursed and haunted.

Is demanding a pardon immediately after committing mass murder a new thing? Do they think that works?

Any new education reform should probably include Chinese classes from elementary on.

"Now Trump is learning, to his obvious shock, that other nations can also play trade hardball. His reaction to China’s new export controls on rare earths, which are crucial to digital technology, would be comical if the stakes weren’t so high."

Have her stand on the steps of the capital with tv news crews taping her swearing on a bible to work harder than the entire GOP Congress combined. Find a veteran with a law degree to oversee.

She works for US not Mike Johnson. He can fuck off with his swearing in ceremony.

Your time is up. If you can’t give us more than this after a decade of Obamacare, you’ve got nothing but sour grapes and incompetence.
