2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

can’t overstate how shoddy the actual work is. “the framers didn’t think black people counted in the constitutional order” falls apart with a single question: “well what did they think about all the free blacks that most of them lived around, encountered, and even hired for work?”

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles.
I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc.
Unprecedented levels of flop!

1) Economic Policy: RIGHT - focus on cutting taxes and cutting spending, rather than raising taxes to address deficits. WRONG - should be more focused on cutting taxes for low-to-middle income rather than wealthy.
