"That’s the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party.

The American founders expected better leaders than Johnson.'

Trump has been doing business with them since before he became president the first time. This has been in the works for a decade. He knew exactly what was going on but he didn't give a shit because he thinks it's going to benefit him. Now the quid pro quo is obvious

The New York Times is one of the reasons we're here. Please go back and look at your headlines in 2015 and 2016. And then look at the headlines throughout the Biden Administration and then look at the headlines regarding the Tangerine Pol Pot in 2025. They are not worth reading

They have always mattered. But the victims never get recognition, it's always the criminals, the murderers the rapists the pedophiles

One week a month so they can have health care? Fuck that, they get paid $175 to $200,000 a year. They should get their asses to work at least 10 months out of the year. If you're going to be part-time workers then you should get part-time pay with no benefits

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know
