What a load of bs. The gop is trying to turn this into the Reichstag fire.
Try governing if you can
It shouldn’t be hard, tell them murdering Charlie Kirk is an absolute wrong…it isn’t any wronger if it’s a white liberal trans or a nazi gun nut or whoever, it’s as wrong as it can be.
The useless pendejo could just quit and the temperature would go down immediately
Kabuki ....Drama for the Base.
Out And I just want to ask Bluesky why can’t expand # of posting in the shit show we live in?
We can count on Speaker Penis’s leadership There’s no way in hell he’s ever going to stand up to the truth This is an organized criminal cult and Gestapo run by a mad man Next year we have to throw clowns like him out Louisiana are you that lame? D’s you can’t find a moderate to take this him
He can bring legislation to curb gun violence by mandating strict background checks and common sense policies. Every Republican is beholden to NRA, gun lobby and their base who loves guns. Left with thoughts and prayers even though Rump was shot and nothing changed.
Except Trump actually wasn’t
Because Rump is beholden to NRA and other MAGA. Screw them. People need to rise up and demand thru their votes next November.
For real. I have heard more about Kirk in the last day than I ever did about the guy who supposedly shot T.
A fucking asshole christian who hates everybody not like him. That asshole Trump ass-licker is going to turn the temperature down. What an effing joke.
Fuck all the way off. He’s threatening Blue states and cities with military invasion. Again, fuck all the way off.
About the only principled stand he's taken all year. The powder keg is now ready and the fuse has been set. Let's hope saner heads prevail before someone lights a match.
Weaker Johnson couldn't find the thermostat if it hit him in the face ......his forte is fomenting division and hate in the name of his Lord JC
Politico, you continue to debase yourself with fawning, whitewash pieces like this about a serial, relentless liar and Nazi who is actively covering up for a pedophile. Also notice how yet again, Politico hacks both-sides this--as if Dems have been engaging in violent rhetoric. Nope. All MAGA.
More credulous fascist collaboration from Politico. Nobody believes Pope of the House is doing anything other than planning the rollout of new excuses for fascist crackdowns on people, organizations and communities MAGAt KKKult considers subhumans and enemies that need to be violently subjugated.
The only thing we know about Maga Mike is that he will fail. The GOP is like Putin, They do not want peace...
"turning down the temperature"? Burn baby burn. 🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥🔥🙊🔥
Oh bullshit he’s stoking the fire
Hint: Try starting at the top in the Oval Office.
He’s a big part of the problem. They lie, they hate, trump ran his campaign on retribution.
Partisan tensions? Do you mean Republican hysteria?
Democrats weren’t trying to kill republicans when Democrat politicians assassinated in Minnesota.
The wrong person, in the wrong job, at the wrong time. Mike Johnson is a joke.
Has he tried talking to trump?
This little shit couldn't organize his own sock drawer.
Arsonists say: "we will try to reduce the temperature a bit" while ordering more gasoline.
The fact that I thought this was a post from The Onion 🤷🏼♀️
He is failing miserably and needs to be removed/replaced via floor vote
As he carries around a Christ-fascist gas can...
They sure are!
Rewrite: "Christian Liar Lies Some More"
Yes, he’s never contributed to that flame and has always worked as a peacemaker. That’s why he was so close to the peacemaker that was Charlie Kirk. GMAFB
Just release the trump files and get on with it,
Fuck his lid. Let’s go.
No, he's not.
How nice of him to take a moment away from kissing Trump's big fat butt.
& checking his son’s porn use app
I know! How weird is that?
Tbf, he's still supporting his dear Führer by not admitting where the vicious rhetoric is originating from. Even though we all know who is doing that. It's patronising.
It's sickening to listen to. Can you ever imagine Biden or Harris ever being so needy that they had to surround themselves with ass kissers rather than actual qualified people?
The GOP seems ever more comfortable in the notion that they don't have to play by any rules, and yet the rest of society is apparently obligated to listen to only them, believe and obey. Spoiled brats with a god complex. And we have all seen what happens when a regime gets a god complex.
Yes, and don't need to see it again.

Man, that headline is off. How about 'Mike Johnson is trying to keep a lid on partisan tensions after (yet another) school shooting goes largely unacknowledged'
GLWT as long as his orange daddy is around.
Mike Johnson: *firehosing kerosene around Congress with a bandolier of matches slung on his shoulder* I'm turning down the temperature Politico stenographer: Ah, yes, very noble sir
Sure he is. Why do I even bother to read @politico.com anymore? It is laughable.
There’s only one side that needs to turn down the temperature, and it’s the republicans.
bsky.app/profile/avez...
. Well, Mikey, better start with your boss!!!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VatW...
Repeal the big bullshit bill would be a show of good faith. Otherwise him and the GOP can suq a diq!
Way too little, way too late. EPSTEIN FILES!!!!
Release all the Epstein files. Like Trump promised. It is the bipartisan thing to do. And all of his financial records. Only redact victims names.
Yeah. Mike Johnson? The pillar of decorum? What a hoot. Keeping a lid on the overthrow of democracy. Yeah, paying for the Gestapo for Trump? This is not the pillar of democracy, but a gang member. He is the reckless leader of the fascist party. He lies to Americans. You caught that right?
Lawmakers we voted for could actually solve important issues & GROW UP! Stop the infighting & GET TO WORK FOR WE THE PEOPLE🙃 FFS! FAFO who lasts and who is sacked! We have had enough of the BS of Extremist MAGA BLAMING THE DEMS! Here’s an idea! Have more constructive debates instead of this BS👉🏾👈🏼
Better have a heart-to heart with the taco chef.
Just like the French Revolution, this revolution will eat it's children. Kirk was under attack from other MAGA insiders for his demand to release the #Epstein Files. I wouldn't be surprised if shooter is MAGA just like attempted Trump shooting.
Republicans accusing democrats of being brown shirts. That's rich when they literally have Nazis roaming the streets.
I asked around on who is charlie kkirk? I was told he's a middle aged nazi who goes back to high-schools to argue with teenagers and call it edgy. What a loser.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES !!!
No he’s not.
He should start in the Oval Office, b/c that sick man is trying to start a nationwide wildfire...
Haha…no. He is not trying to do that. He is lying.
He can start by resigning, and stop protecting his child raping king
Just tell them that Trump is an FBI snitch.
That guy fits nicely in Trump's blazer pocket.
Maybe Mike will stop listening to the prince of lies for a minute and start listening to the prince of peace.
Ya, sure. Best of luck with that you disingenuous shit.
The only thing he’s capable of turning down the temperature on is his wife
Mike Johnson isn't doing shit, but covering for Trump 24/7!
A bit late for that. Talk to his boss.
Unless he addresses things with his own party and Trump, anything he says or does is pointless and there will be more political violence
Yeah Mike, you've got a stellar track record when it comes to bipartisanship. I'm sure you'll have everything under control in no time. 🙄
I am sure it is difficult when the president is on national tv assigning blame - trump is working towards causing a civil war
#Pedogarchy
How about getting your folks to stop calling Democrats "lunatics" and "deranged" and stop the "we're going to go after them". And, while you're at it, let's stop talking about "taking back our country", cause that sounds like you're accusing someone of stealing it.
I have not heard anyoneo the left blame #MAGA Keep remembering #Epstien
Mike Johnson, Trump and Republicans can put a lid on partisan tensions by stopping the divisive racist rhetoric that they constantly spew out. DEI, CRT, immigrants, are just a few things that have caused division, denounce the KKK, Neo Nazis, denouncing White Supremacist would also help.
Fuck you Porno Mike
Ask Ben Shapiro to help!
Just do the usual thoughts and prayers. That works so well for Congress.😐
Mike Johnson is a knob. Knobs don't turn themselves.
You mean , GOP is pointing finger at dems and dems are like, what the f@ck guys? That’s what you meant right? If not, please show me where dems are ‘pointing fingers at GOP.’
What if Charlie Kirk was killed during J6?? Would they still be pardoned?
Not to mention a Democrat and her husband were murdered barely 3 months ago leaving their children with no home and no parents and I don’t recall them being shown at Yankee Stadium for a moment of silence, or social media honoring her like they are with this dude. The hypocrisy is angering.
“We’ve got to protect people who run for public office or no one will, and that’s heavy on our hearts and minds as we also work through the trauma of what happened yesterday,” Johnson said Thursday.” Good, now you know what regular people go through daily.
But this is what Trump wants, and he knows it. Most Republicans want it. The love to attack, and scream like pigs when it finally happens to them.
He should mention this strategy to his fuckwit boss
THAT'S more like it! 🤭
Mike Johnson is trying to keep a lid on the Pedogate President partisan tensions after Charlie Kirk’s slaying. The speaker said he's working on "turning down the temperature" of his own young male interests, as lawmakers point fingers at each other.
LOL.
Sure he is
LMAO horse shit
Kirk being honored by Trumpery.Sad day for the presidency and all of us that believe "live and let live"
The temperature he helped turn way up.... spare me the fake bs attempts.
MiKKKe helped create this mess by being very cosy with pedophile club.
Was he undercover too ?
"bootliker unsure of exactly which boots he should be licking right now"
Rubbish!
Both sides are pointing fingers at each other. Why aren’t leaders on both sides standing up and stating the facts - that it happens on BOTH sides, and IT. IS. NOT. THE. WAY.
Ok, Gooner. Tell us how you're doing that. Otherwise, just more lies.
the proper way to de-escalate tension is to first admit your own faults, declare some common ground, and invite your advisory to open dialog.
Mike Johnson? My pearly ass.
Time to start sucking dicks again Mikey.
Charlie Kirk was an old fashioned KKK member. His life was not worth celebrating, flying flags at half staff & all of the warped coverage of this event just shows how far America has lost its way. We need to teach the real Charlie Kirk & then discuss his murder: www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...
To HELL with him!!!
That fool can't even keep a lid on his own failings.
"Turning down the temperature" means blocking the release of the Epstein files to please his Dear Leader, Donald Trump.
Exactly how is the keebler helf doing that ? Watching the nation gerrymander to house away from the vote of the people ? Voting to release the epstein files and all data ? Performing their sworn obligation to represent and legislate/control funding under article 1 instead of bowing to a dictator ?
Just like he wants justice for the Epstein victims. Moses Mike is a lying, fascist hypocrite.
Yet no one goes mental when children are killed at school. You force them to be born then use them as target practice when they are children.??
I think the root problem with Republicans right now is that their "priorities" are all conflicting with each other. They can't talk about shootings earnestly because it would make the NRA mad. Trump wants more American factories but then deports their workers to satisfy his racism. Etc, etc.
Donald Trump needs to be investigated. There is a very high probability that he is the one who ordered Kirk to be killed because Kirk was advocating for the release of the Epstein files.
The only finger pointing is from the fascist party.
How about thoughts and prayers?
He can start with Trump and then move onto Bannon and Waters.
Mike keeping a lid on anything when DonOld is a child rapist and we let school kids get shot daily 🫠
Moses Mike is worthless as a Speaker
We can do both!
You mean Mike “Trump is an FBI agent” Johnson? Release the files. That would calm tensions.
What a joke!
In reality- the person who shot him is the responsible party 🤔
Leaders who incite violence all know who they are.
Here’s my vote of no confidence.
We must declare Civil War on the Republicans!
Keep reporting what they say, and not what they do, Politico. That’s some good journalism.
Politico is a right-wing hack organization.
He should have doused that fire years ago, but that would have required a spine to lift the bucket.
He must feel very torn.
He should start with the news reporters blaming the Left. Not to mention his boss, Mr Trump.
By praying for Kirk on the House Floor!
Release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice!
BlueSky really needs a laugh emoji.
He is so weak. That’s why the TT loves him!!!
Sez him….that lies every day…humph …
I bet it was Mike Johnson? Did anyone ask him where he was at time of #kirk s death?
FACT: Mike Johnson is a liar.
While allowing the loons on his team spew threats of retribution on the House floor.
Tell him to release the Epstein files!
Mike Johnson, the radical right-wing hypocrite who is Speaker of the House, is a Trump puppet. Despite what he says, he will continue doing what Trump tells him to do regardless of what is best for the country.
Johnson is Trump's lackey. I would be surprised if he could keep a lid on anything without first checking to see if Trump actually wants to keep the politicians from fighting on the floor.
That’s should go over well. Where are the Epstein Files?
Mike Johnson couldn't turn down the temperature on a toaster oven. He excels at stoking fires, not putting them out.
You are so right
So you'll just report anything anyone says at face value, huh?
These asswipes know now that they really have to pay attention to what they say and do. I find it curious that Loomer calls Kirk a 6 he is dead. CORE MAGA may be cleaning up. MAGAPUBLICANS are feeling the heat. They are between a rock & and hard place. Who do they trust? The rock, of course.
He Knows Something Fishy Is Up!!! 🤔🤔🤔
He’s part of the problem.
Fuck Mike Johnson and Fuck Politico for whitewashing his bullshit.
Not going to happen
Working on. Don’t buy that BS.
TAR AND FEATHER
Release the Epstein files. It would be a world class distraction from the political violence that threatens the fabric of our country.
Well that got easier today didn't it?
Mike Johnson is a fool! He’s no more than Tacos bitch!!!
Oh my GOD, such bullshit from Politico. Go fuck yourselves and Mike Johnson too.
The heat has to go go up. It needs to go white hot and burn. 🔥 Republicans need to understand the hate TACO man is generating all over the country and it will get worse.
Once someone shows you who they really are believe them the first time- Maya Angelou
WHERR THE EPSTEIN FILES!
For 11 years I’ve watched MAGA threatening anyone that comments anything they don’t understand. Just fuck off already.
Yaahhhh…. He hasn’t spoken with the President I take it?
Yeah? That’s a good thing. Let’s see how long it lasts.
Too bad we have no evidence of what Kirk actually said or did. Because in a finger-pointing situation evidence can help identify the correct pointee.
Mike Johnson should #Resign.
From what? The whole GOP in Congress are Donny's pimps!
He should also have to allow law enforcement to dig in his back yard... Dexter looking MotherF_cker
or just have a camera in his private home office
Fucker never should’ve been selected!
Which he thinks is what he is doing by stoking those tensions.
Uh, sure? When the fuck has he ever done that?
Johnson wanted Newsom "tarred and feathered"
Johnson WILL TRY to PUT OUT the FIRE STARTED BY POTUS !
Don’t put Johnson in charge of de-escalating!! OMG!
Did Trump’s little Johnson stick his finger up his own ass? Because it sure sounds like he’s jerking us and himself around.
Like suddenly it dawns on him that unfettered access to assault weapons and shotguns *might mean* that people he likes could get killed, not just kids in an elementary school or shoppers at the grocery store.
Where was this passion from GOP when children were shot ?
He could use an assist from the President but that won’t happen.
Yeah, right
One of America's top ten most useless people in positions of power.
Resignations would suffice
Sure he is. Flaccid, impotent orange cuck.
Johnson is nothing more than…
*cough*cough* bullshit
