REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

We can't believe anything Trump says. Every statement he makes is jaded, overhyped, escalated, omission filled, minimized, duplicitous, a gaslight, a character assassination or a blatant lie.

Narcissistic lies include

I am better than you
I'm great
I promise
Don't worry
Not my fault

Trump arrives in Israel to begin developing his new "Trump Gaza Strip". The demolition has already been completed; he now just has to remove the debris and all the dead bodies.

A boycott of Beef is being organized. It's up 40% since 2019.
We will BUY NO BEEF until prices return to 2019 levels. If big creators can pick this up, and nationwide beef sales collapse.We will set the prices

#ProudBlue

Trump is setting the stage to “wage war on Democrats as they foot the bill for the Republican violence.”

Why should Democratic assistance continue to help red states if Trump is using the money from blue states to fund inciting violence in the streets of blue cities?

Thoughts?
