Left leaning, socially and scientifically aware, compassionate and really pissed off with where some things are going in the world. I guess that makes me proudly woke.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
