A word of advice:

You've exposed yourself as a seditionist. You've shown that you have no respect for our Constitution. You've even demonstrated your lack of reason and logical thinking.

Your threat to sue Simon & Schuster is as empty as it is foolish. S&S isn't inhibiting your First Amendment rights; in fact that's not what the First Amendment is about, you fool. It's about the government restricting free speech. As a so-called Republican, aren't you supposed to support the free market? That's what S&S's decision to drop your screed is about, you idiot.

Josh, you over-played your hand and exposed your un-American positions. Your time in D.C. will be limited and your influence will be minimal. You might as well start looking for a new career.

Before they speak, they should read -- and my suggestion is to start with the 1st Amendment.

And not because he's in Congress either.



I feel like I've seen him do this pose before - just not in a suit and tie.

Maybe. Maybe not. But he sure has the look.

Look right into the camera Josh when you speak in the house, just like you’re doing a campaign infomercial for 2024.

I remember years ago someone being admonished by the chair for not speaking to the body. It might have been Rand Paul or Cruz or maybe before that.
