Speaker of the House calling on a sitting governor to be "tarred and feathered."

Just unconscionable rhetoric. Unconscionable.

It's hard to have a democracy when one of the two major parties refuses to treat the other as legitimate and capable of governing.
Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?

MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare?

Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

Real question here...is it possible for a state to block or temporarily prevent federal income taxes from leaving the state?

Can I just say, Charlie Kirk is a deeply bad person. Just saw him talking about fires in California. To call him ignorant is kind, but add onto that his hate toward humans is astonishing.

The "precedent" argument is meaningless to me. Trump will do it regardless of what Biden does, even if it is wrong. The question is, does this protect Hunter from Trump's vengeful regime?

Still going through it, but Tim Alberta's book - The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory - is so eye-opening about Evangelicalism and American extremism. It explains so much about so many of the people around me. Are you a Christian or an American Christian? Do you worship Christ or America?
