Every time I see Speaker Johnson he looks like a 10 year old boy wearing a suit, and every time I hear him it reinforces that

They’re running out of time to set up the thousands of cardboard magats for the crowd. They have hired (people are saying) real POC for the front rows. I on the other hand was not invited but I’m hoping Mr. Lincoln likes the play. I’m praying for him.

Good for him. He’s still not my first choice for the primary.

Ta, Evan. The soldiers in the bleachers at Big Boy Birthday Dictator Tot Parade all have to be "fit not fat" and will not be allowed water. That Thing in the Offal Office deserves naught but ridicule.

Ok so someone is writing him talking points that pretty much meet the moment. That's a good thing.

Neither he, or to a lesser degree, Ms. Bass, need to make such lengthy statements telling us to behave. They are buying into the idea that the prez and co. are spouting.

Protesters aren't looking for shit to burn or looking forward to attacking LEOs ffs.

Don't talk to people like they are dummies. They aren't. They are there because they have issues with a fascist.

Thanks for pointing out that our elected so-called leaders need to SPEAK UP LIKE THIS. And if they can't or won't, we the peeps will be takin' it to the Doobie Brothers' streets. (See you Saturday. And then some.)

I suppose "Newscum", lame as it is, is an insulting nickname. But it's not as insulting and degrading as being known as a 'Trump'.

I call him Chump. I think that's a lot better than "Newscum."

Newsom, Walz, Priztker and others, the governors are doing so much better speaking out, and to, these fascist fuck weasels. The rest of our leaders need to take lessons from them and people like Crockett who knows how to handle their fragile, fascist asses.

"The Deported Clouds" is the name of my new darkwave shoegaze-punk band.

Okay, maybe just the title.

Americans should all read Tocqueville and remember who they are. The man was very impressed with how well-informed people were and how that encouraged participation. We got too comfortable, and we got purposefully misinformed. Fox news ushered in our new era. Rupert better burn in hell, the sooner the better.

"Speaker Mike Johnson said yesterday before Newsom even gave this speech? He said Newsom should be “tarred and feathered.” NO HE DIDN'T !! He said Newsom should be “tar and feathered”,

because like all these dumb fuckers, he doesn't know what the language means or how it works and how tense works. How the hell did any of them make it out of Junior High.

Has Johnson called for vigilante lynchings yet?

Must quote Little Big Man here: Jack Crabb "Mr. Merriweather you don't know when you're licked." Mr. Merriweather "Licked, I'm not licked. I'm tarred and feathered, that's all."

As much trash as Newsom is, he does have damn good speechwriters. At least somebody understands the importance of the arts.

He's great on his feet, too. Gavin can shut down stupid talking points in real time like nobody's business.

"The most important office is office of citizen."

THIS. This right here.

What we owe our country is our informed participation in its governance. Right now, that means calling your representatives, participating in protests, giving to the candidates you want to see in government. Later it will mean getting informed and VOTING.

Yes there are roadblocks. Yes they want to stop us. Do it anyway and make sure the likeminded you know do too. Yes I'm preaching to the choir here. Still, it needs to be said.
