It's WWE politics. They go out and slam each other on padded floors to amuse the punters and then go out the back, have a beer together and laugh at the public.

Speaker Johnson is lying.
He knows that counting mail votes is not “magic” or “fraudulent,” it is following the law.
Echoing these lies shows how beholden Johnson is to the Liar In Chief, but the Speaker of the House should be above such awful behavior.
This is disgraceful.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

Hanson was a Liberal in the Howard mould. He said nothing about Hanson and only started putting her last as a tactical measure (not a pushback on policies) after the 1998 Qld election scare. He embraced her polices - which were variations of his One Australia platform
Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.
