ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.

If anyone has been listening to Mike Johnson & some cabinet members frothing at the mouth, describing the evil nature of No King's Day on October 18th, be aware that they may be preloading the definition of "rebellion" to EQUAL the No Kings March on Saturday.

Justify invoking Insurrection Act.

You know who hates America

The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans

The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA

Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities

That’s Mike Johnson

HE hates America

NO KINGS

I don't have a confident mental model of how Mike Johnson (and other R's) actually think. Is he super-cynical, super-delusional or - more likely - a bit of both? What he has to DO is clear. Be loyal to Trump. So, in a sense, what he thinks doesn't matter. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Speaker Mike Johnson manages to stay remarkably ignorant of nearly everything going on in our government.

How is he still employed at all?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Maybe Mike Johnson will work for Argentina since we seem to have 20 billions to spend on Argentina’s bailout but not enough money to fund SNAP without cuts.

How is it that our taxes can be used for this?

What about America first ?!?

What is Argentina giving Trump- another fucking golf course?!

Speaker Johnson predicted this will be the longest shutdown ever. @washingtonpost.com
The latest: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said today this could be the longest government shutdown on record and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats.

Shutdown is the GOP's fault.

Me: "do you know what the word 'negotiate' means?"

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
