While protesters wave flags, Trump waves the Constitution goodbye; hiding a legislative dumpster fire behind troops, tantrums, and the lie that democracy’s biggest threat is... handmade signs.
So true, Michael. I wish that Johnson would get the facts straight. He is never going to be "queen" to trump's "king." We are not having a wantabee "king" run our country. Johnson holds the cards. He could do what is right for our country and impeach trump, but instead of doing his job, that he was elected to do, he shares the thought with trump and instead of representing his people, he looks the other way and lies. He is so insecure, in his job, that he has to take orders from trump. Johnson doesn't seem to have a thought of his own in his head. He's strictly a "yes" man and the only one that he is capable of saying "yes" to is trump. He doesn't care about our country, nor does he care about it's Constitution, Democracy or it's peoples. All he cares about is pleasing his master. What a shitshow of a man. Put the whole regime in a bag, shake them up, dump them out and you wouldn't even get one whole human being. One that knows right from wrong or one that knows how to tell the truth over lies.
Totally agree. Did you ever notice when he is asked a question about something that trump said or did, he always comes back with either, "I believe in everything that the president is doing, or I was working on something else and didn't know about it." I wonder what the people that voted for him are thinking. Bet a lot of them are saying - What a dumb ass - Can I redo my vote?
A concerning read today, factually worrisome because this is key to escalating material law under the disguise of law and order so that Baron Von Shitsinpants can become President King Emperor Dictator Chancellor of the United States for life. May the force be with us all!
I was so happy to see you on MSNBC spreading the real word about this situation and reiterating it here. I agree with you but what happens when the Natl Guard gets the order to start firing on these people? Will they do it? Someone is going to get hurt, or worse, killed. All for him to save face. It's truly pathetic to see how fragile Donnie-two-dolls really is. And the lengths he's willing to go to distract from the big bs bill.
But there's another reason he's doing this is CA: Gavin Newsom. Donnie has already discredited Governor Gretchen Whitmer with his WH stunt where she was forced to stand shielding her face with a binder. Now he's trying to discredit Gavin Newsom by usurping his power over the CA Natl Guard. My guess is he will go to Illinois so he can go after Gov. JB Pritzker next. He wants to demean his potential opponents so people will doubt their credibility. Any democratic governor will be in his cross hairs as we get closer to 2028. We can determine how strong he thinks an opponent is by seeing how much effort he puts into degrading/demeaning each potential opponent. But the colateral damage, the people who will be hurt in the process, will be a problem. Just not one Donnie cares anything about.
Great post Michael. Yes, the whole LA spectacle was exactly that, a dramatic spectacle. He's trying to fill us with fear, especially before his parade. Newsom has intelligence and strength, asshole is a complete idiot and weak. LA is full of immigrants and people that care about those immigrants. They just need to be calm, no rock throwing, no violence. So much of the real footage shows crowd escalation after the flash bombs were thrown and a car caught fire. That wasn't the protesters, that was ICE! Let's see what the day brings. We will stay peaceful and strong!
Thanks Michael. I love how you say that you are not guessing, you lived it. Experience always speaks the loudest, just another reason I love your Substack. Keep it up!
We the people are going to hold accountable every single invertebrate in Congress who votes for this Big Horrendous Bill. We will not be distracted by parades, or authoritarian responses to the actions of citizens and even journalists…..they’ll vote for wrecking the lives of millions and suffer the consequences.
Exactly he creates a diversion every time and Fox 11 in LA was out there saying people were causing destruction, that it was a violent protest. The protesters were following the news reporter and yelling “that’s a lie” “you’re lying” good for them !!
It's about crafting a backdrop for the Malignant Strongman Wannabe to utilize as a reference during his upcoming military parade, with the ultimate goal of legitimizing the militarization of America's streets - not just in L.A. but anywhere and everywhere. And not just as a response to those who oppose his cruel deportations but in response to anyone who defies him for whatever reason. It's crucial for those of us who seek to save our democratic republic to hit the streets next Saturday in numbers that can't be ignored!
We all knew that this day would come. That he would use the military against protesters. In his first administration he wanted to shoot them in the legs now he just wants to shoot them. When the inevitable happened, I'm glad it was here in my state. We have a Governor who is what Trump is not and can never be, a real man. He'll push back and take Trump on to protect us citizens and that includes our immigrants, they're also our citizens! He takes his oath of office seriously and will win.
I have a feeling that we are not as doomed as one might think. Just as their games are delay, and give the people a slow bleed out, of the liberties that we designed as freedoms once held by all. There are those midnight meetings behind door number three to limit the over lord. There has to be a quiet unpopular stealthy exercising of constitutional limits. There has to be an inner knowing of some minds pushing back against the regime. For all actions are followed by reaction. My experience is that our resolve will not come from a lame duck presidency. There are too many moving parts here. Our bigger problem is that we are not in cohesive focus of a unified message. A catch phrase. We are all carrying the fire within us, millions of us holding the hose to put out the fires that we cant seem to find. Oh it's raging and we are constantly involved in reaction mode because that's what this administration wants. LA is a test...
My thoughts are that they were just waiting for violence to occur at our protest and we cant afford the consequences of their actions so we have to find a way to put out the fire within us and come together in absolute unity of message. What do you think our unified message is?
All I can ask is, where's the man behind the curtain? What's he up to? I refer to trump's handlers, the ones who really want to bring down this country. The tramp is so used to playing people, they've puffed up his fragile ego so much by letting him think he's in control, he doesn't realize he's the biggest sucker and loser of them all. When the takeover is complete, and the real masters have no more use for him, he'll be thrown to the mobs to be dealt with Mussolini-style. IF, that is, he's not dealt with before that. And the real powers, with money as their WMD, will keep right on doing what they're doing, sowing chaos and discord throughout this puny grain of galactic sand. .
Just like "the Apprentice," there is a script he's following! "The Trump administration’s response to the protests in Los Angeles has drawn parallels with the [Rodney King] riots that engulfed America’s second most populous city in 1992...Then-California Governor Pete Wilson deployed 2,000 national guard soldiers to the city. Additionally, 1,500 marines were deployed – the last time the elite force was deployed for domestic law enforcement. The unrest lasted six days and resulted in the deaths of 63 people and widespread looting and arson. Unlike the riots, the ongoing protests in Los Angeles have largely been peaceful with isolated clashes with law enforcement officials. Wilson and then-President George HW Bush, both Republicans, were on the same page in terms of authorising the deployment of national guard forces, unlike Trump and Newsom."

Wrapped in his phony piety, traitorous little bobble-head Mike Johnson is enough to gag a maggot!

He's a pathetic little sellout.

For starters. "No Kings Day." EVERY DAY!
Michael, I was abused by narcissists too - you’re a strong man! Keep being measured and firm in your speech.

Just checking in.
I grow Sun Gold tomatoes and give them away. 4th year in a row.
The smiles I get back tells me of the strength of the human spirit.
We are all different but we are all one.
