Crime headline of the day.
Remember, Mike Johnson was briefly the president of a fake law school that never opened its doors, run by a Baptist college that was losing it accreditation, so he is an expert
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Doesn't he know Kaitlan Collins is a right winger
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---
TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

That old cliche "if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything" has some kind of higher ed administration analogue whereby if your institution doesn't have a clear identity and vision for what you want to be you'll fall for any and every edtech and AI grifter that comes along

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

"Can I prove it? No" sure didn't stop this treasonous little dork from trying to overthrow the republic on January 6. He was a ringleader in the effort to overturn the 2020 election and this never really seems to come up
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Imagine if we had to follow the Constitution. Imagine!
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:
"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

An ICE agent covered head-to-toe in body cams, just thousands of tiny cameras, beating the shit out of an old woman. That's the bipartisan dream

If the Republican US attorney for the District of Columbia doesn't recognize the Heller decision then no state is under any obligation to do so either
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

Family lore is that one great-grandfather worked on a UK-US shipping line and jumped ship in NYC after killing someone on board
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?

Some people without power are in Mike Johnson's district but many are in Julia Letlow's district. Letlow now thinks she should be in the Senate, despite having done nothing but parrot maga nonsense for five years in the House
I want to say something snarky about your congressman and FEMA, but this situation is beyond bullshit. Y’all deserve better.

The NYT has acknowledged North Louisiana! That means we exist now
Tens of thousands of people across Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana have gone a week without power or heat after a brutal ice storm. At least three dozen people have died in connection with the storm, officials have said.
Fear and Anger Grow as Thousands Remain Without Power in the South
More than 30 people have died across three Southern states in connection with last week’s storm, and thousands remain without power.

Excuse me, Mike Johnson lives in Bossier, don't stick us with that ick
Before I read posts on here today, please tell me which MSM outlet was parked outside “youth pastor” and sometime Speaker Mike Johnson’s home (D.C. townhouse or home in Shreveport) this morning to get his reaction to the Epstein files & the horrifying allegations made in them against the President?

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.
