I love the idea that an unqualified, stupid Fox Weekend host is playing at being a grown-up but watching other people's authoritarian failing ideas being nailed to his chest.

This is the way. So far, Washington Post, NYT, CNN, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Reuters, NPR, Associated Press, HuffPost and more. This is the way.

Bannon makes shit up a lot.

He also constantly contradicts himself so he can claim he predicted every outcome. It's a clever trick.

His audience is MAGA, a paragon of a lack of education.

Johnson is a monument to craven cowardice and corruption.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

It's always about him. And this is particularly egregious given that Charlie Kirk did not turn at a good time.

What a thoughtless fucking ghoul this turd is.

Whoever the commanding officers are who are greenlighting these attacks are clearly obeying illegal orders, which goes against their oath of office.

They'll be the ones prosecuted, not Trump and his circus of shiteclowns.

The US President is bragging about murdering people in international waters, with zero due process, zero legal authoriy.

You cannot be okay with this.
