I think Maga Marg wants to be House Speaker.

Paula Vergara @paulavergara.bsky.social · 7h

I think @michaelfanone.bsky.social might have something to say about this. The projection from Maga Mike is crazy.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Is the NPP going to somehow protect 47 from being thrown in prison, once he leaves office (via 2026 impeachment), or is this just part of his bogus 2028 campaign?

That phony Democrat doesn't have a chance in hell of defeating Susan Collins in 2026. It's Gov. Janet Mills who will take her down.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

I listen to this brain-dead bozo with the volume off.

Such a fine line between law enforcement and political repression. It's not crowd control. It's MESSAGE control. Peaceful protests and freedom of speech are protected by the Constitution, but Maga Mike has no respect for the Constitution.

Back to the Maga playbook, pushing the false idea that poor people are lazy.

Paula Vergara @paulavergara.bsky.social · 1d

HOOOWEEE, the No Kings rally is really getting under Maga's thin skin.

The No Kings rally is about advocating for justice, democratic reforms and government accountability...or things that the Maga Republicans HATE. Non-violent protests are legal and constitutionally protected. Spinning it as a ‘hate-America gathering’ is just part of the Maga playbook.

I understand the benefit of Marjorie T. Green supporting the Dems on health insurance subsidies, but don't let her fool you. This is the same woman who just two years ago, introduced a resolution to declare "Antifa" as a domestic terrorist organization. She did this again in January.

RFK,Jr. just laid off 1,000 employees of HSS. A deliberate act to further decimate the nation's CDC, which serves to investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses, and collect data.

Expect sickness & deaths.

So the Israeli president is going to give Donny the Israeli presidential medal of honor. I give Donny 24 hours before tweeting: "Well, it's not exactly the Nobel Peace Prize, but I deserved it." Honestly, I'm surprised DT and his minions haven't threatened to wage war against Norway. 🤡

Again with the "concept of a plan" for healthcare. THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN TO HELP ANYONE EXCEPT FOR THE RICH.

The last time I checked, walking the streets and holding signs was free.

If DT is on the ballot in 2028, then Obama will be on the ballot in 2028.
