In case it wasn’t clear what kind of person the new Speaker Mike Johnson is, here is an OpEd he wrote advising that states should “discriminate” against “homosexual conduct” and suggesting they pass laws around “sexual conduct outside marriage.” He is a Christo-Nationalist zealot. Of “The Handmaid’s Tale” variety. image
This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again. But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. /1
It seems President Zelenskyy requested an opportunity to address a joint session of Congress, but that worm of a man, Kevin McCarthy, refused him. Kevin has always been a spineless coward, and he deserves every bit of misery coming to him as his own party turns on him.
So that shrieking windbag Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has admitted she is openly coordinating with Trump to keep an “impeachment inquiry” into Biden open for as “long and excruciatingly painful” as possible. This is the real “weaponization” of the government: going after the President with absolutely no evidence, solely for political points.
Looks like Jack Smith obtained Trump’s Twitter data, including “some volume” of his DMs. Elon’s people tried to delay production and wanted to tell Trump about the warrant, but they got smacked down and hit with sanctions. Shows whose side Musk was on, huh?
Now that progressives have won control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court through a statewide election, and have filed suit to put an end to politically gerrymandered districts, guess how the GOP responds? They threaten to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz, using their illegal, gerrymandered supermajority in the legislature to do so. They will do anything to stay in power.
I am no lawyer, but telling a witness who is supposed to testify before a grand jury in your case tomorrow that he “shouldn’t” is obstruction of justice. It's witness tampering. And that’s a crime that can get added to all the others. image
Many wonder how they’ll ever manage to put Trump in prison. What about his secret service? What about national security? Legal experts respond that they already have special facilities for criminals who either need lots of security or are a threat to others. ‘ They’ll find a secure, isolated place for him. I’m sure they can work something out.
