Let us use this advice to evaluate our GOP political leaders:
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Unfortunately Trump supporters do not measure his success by what he does FOR them, they measure what he does AGAINST people they hate or dislike. That's why they see him as ‘successful’. That is why they will NEVER abandon him. Trump’s vulgarity and hatred of ‘others’ stokes the Maga-Cult.
