They got incensed because Jen Psaki dared to say that thoughts and prayers are not enough. Tass (Faux News) twisted her words, of course, and mean girl Leavitt excoriated her from her podium. How dare Jen suggest that something actually be done to stop the bloodshed?!?!? SMGDH

He wants the spotlight on him constantly. He never even shut up while he was out of office. He is, in short, a 4-year-old in the body of a miserable, bloated, bloviating, stupid, selfish, racist, pedophilic, vain slug who would be nothing if he weren’t born on third base.

He’s not happy just to have free rein to do whatever he wants in his job… he wants to run EVERYTHING. He wants to tell New Yorkers how to vote. He wants to force armed military troops into states and cities led by Democrats because of “lawlessness”, but leaves similar ones led by Republicans be.

Hmmm… this could be serious. If only I could muster up some thoughts and prayers… Nope, too much work. The scary part is that the couch fucker is in the on deck circle, and he’ll be a deer in headlights. I’d assume he’d be ousted rather quickly… then Johnson… what a shitstorm!

Especially Sycophantic Speaker Johnson, who whined about congressional salaries also being frozen since 2009… as long as the federal minimum wage. But instead of raising wages for everyone, he wants to compensate by allowing stock trades for sitting congresspeople. Evil in every respect. 😡

Less than 0.1%, even. However, Tass (a/k/a Faux “News”) glommed onto the transsexual angle and slapped down any suggestion that free access to guns had anything to do with it. It’s hard to expect anything else when an assault on Congress is celebrated by the party that loves guns to death.

The continuing escalation of intimidation, fear, and the threat of violence is all part of Scump and Miller/Goebbels’s ethnic cleansing campaign. Masked thugs abducting brown people is not enough. Now brown Americans need to be brought to heel.

Second, the National Guard troops refuse any orders to shoot civilians, as they are illegal on their face. The troops can explain this to their governors, whom they report to directly.

Mike Johnson’s right about salaries staying the same since 2009. It’s about time to pay American workers a wage that they can actually survive on. Minimum wage is just below the poverty line.

When his voters say, “He says what we’re thinking,” it says volumes about the voters themselves. When others say that someone else who represents all people says what they are thinking, the Trump supporters bring out the vitriol. Only their bigoted viewpoint matters.

52 weeks at 40 hours at $7.25 an hour is $15,080 a year. $15,650 is poverty level. Congresspeople make $174,000 a year. Speaker Johnson gets $223,500. This does not include allowances. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how we have been robbed for years.
Michael Daly-Jones (@michaeldalyjones.bsky.social) reply parent
Speaker Johnson was whining about how congressional salaries have not risen since 2009, but prices are up 31% oversell due to inflation. Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage has been held at $7.25 an hour since 2009, but Congress fights tooth-and-nail against raising it.

Any of us who lived in the NYC area could clearly see what a piece of shit Scump is. The Central Park Five story is a prime example of his utter disdain for brown people… and indicative of his motives behind his ethnic cleansing drive. His history as a landlord is racist as well.

2009 is also when the federal minimum wage was last raised, to $7.25 an hour. Congress has fought tooth-and-nail against raising it since then. 40 hours for 52 weeks at minimum wage gives a salary of just $15,080… before taxes! That’s 36.8% of the poverty level for a family of one! Horrible!!! 😡
