        But don’t say - or imply - that he’s a kid-fucker, because, they were 17 or something? I’m still not understanding that argument…

    I love how he throws up the excuse, “…that is not the way we do things in the House,…” as tho’ propriety or social or even governmental norms mean anything whatsoever to him or the rest of the GOP.

    And then this reversal after nearly 24 hours go by, "Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”

      Of note is that he had a sit-down with Dear Leader before that 180 on “…the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”

      Only needs to “make sense” in the moment. And only to certain people. Everyone else can get fucked. And don’t be bringing up my past statements! (these are not my own personal beliefs)

          Then why aren’t you guys using your second amendment to do something about it huh? People from the US keep arguing with the rest of the world that the second amendment is important but clearly you guys are all talk no walk, it’s just an excuse to compensate for something by owning a bunch of guns, not a way to guarantee that you will be able to defend yourself against the tyranny of the government.

            It’s been a week. Let them cook!

            Trump was nearly assassinated twice this year-- 3 times if you count the Iranian plot that didn’t get out of the planning phase.
