I don't know what kind of social circles Mike Johnson travels in, that he knows of enough 30 y/o able-bodied people on Medicaid who do not have jobs and play video games all day—but he must know a significant number, since he repeatedly describes them in detail as the poster child of Medicaid Waste.

Hey CBS. Just spitballing here but what if you acted like a free, fair, un-cowed press is actually a pillar of the democratic system and therefore, capitulating

ISN'T JUST ABOUT YOU or your bottom line.

I posted this yesterday because I thought it was Easter.
Does this seem weird bc I professed to know a good amount about Jesus yet clearly do not go to church or have the ability to read a calendar? Yes.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate
Happy Easter to those of any faith or nonfaith that know Jesus was a historical figure who preached radical love acceptance compassion and challenged the hypocrisy of leaders and the status quo
He's still my hero

I just don't comprehend the widespread, majority view that Donald Trump is a victim of the FBI, the DOJ, and most news outlets in America. Of Chris Krebs. Of military generals. Of law firms.

Start with asking the US Representatives in Illinois why they voted that way. They represent the farmers. Why did Miller, Lahood, and Bost vote against our farmers? And if those same farmers voted for trumps tariffs, why are we denying them what they wanted?
