When do you think he will start the break push for a third term? I mean I know he’s talking about it but when do you think he’ll start taking action.

If you look at my post I’m actually finger pointing at them for so obviously wishing for it to be violent. I know the left ain’t responsible. But we don’t have to make it easier for them.

Fox is now openly celebrating Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power from Congress. There is literally nothing the guy could do that they wouldn't cheerlead. The network is completely captured by MAGA.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

I remember when there were government shutdowns in the past that it felt like a major story every single day.

Like it was all we talked about.

Now it feels like a B or C level story.

thoughts?
