A faithful colleague …

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

How does discovery work in this case? Can Comeys lawyers bring in info from Russia Russia Russia case?

Wouldn’t that be fun

What are the Democrats waiting for? A sitting judge can swear in a new member of Congress. We don't need the Speaker of the House (Mike Johnson) to swear in Adelita Grijalva of Arizona. Please repost this for public. A Public pressure campaign could get the Democratic Congress to make their move.

Boy if I was Whitehouse and Bondi’s claims were not true I’d sue her

I think it was always his plan to win and let Vought & Miller run the actual operation.
He just likes the pomp & circumstance, power and staying out of prison + the continuous grift. He doesn’t do policy.

Weekend at Bernie’s feels

Maybe because they’re sick of being used as pawns for a wanna be dictator?

Cathy @catherinemfds.bsky.social · 9d

I’ll take this as good news that some in the DOJ are not bowing over & holding the line.
They can’t fire everyone.

Comey will win this case.

Why so angry Steven?
Every time you see him he’s screaming rhetoric.

I don’t think there is anyone that can pull a ‘trump’.
They’d be perceived as fakes.
You can’t fake that much hatred.

Cathy @catherinemfds.bsky.social · 10d

Heavens yes! Let him run!
Everybody hates him - he’ll lose and get a Democrat in the WH.

Cathy @catherinemfds.bsky.social · 10d

Why mention Alito not being involved?
Is this normal?

Look at that…actual law & order.

Cathy @catherinemfds.bsky.social · 14d

I believe trump is running a ‘made for TV’ presidency solely to stay out of prison and make as much money as possible.
Folks like Vought & Miller are the puppet masters & they want complete control of our country for far right ideology & kleptocracy for their own benefit & that of their donors.

Remember when the Biden administration gave more money to red states under the infrastructure bill?

The good old days…

Cathy @catherinemfds.bsky.social · 16d

Hate to be negative but I think trump will pardon him pretty quick.
Hope I’m wrong.

If you’re wondering how protests are going to go moving forward or ‘get out the vote’ election organizations or any Democrat fundraising orgs are going to work in the future - this article explains it all & it’s chilling.

So he wants to be the leader of the free world and tell other countries what to do.

Nice nice
