Corrupt dude with a $250 K motor home & billionaire benefactors says Americans must endure personal "sacrifices"

It's a lengthy bullshit anti-progressive manifesto that you can read at the link. I'm not going to share it here, other that Thomas ending with "don't do as I DO, do as I SAY."

Just when you thought the "MEME AFTERMATH" of Trump's "I AM JESUS" post had subsided...

"The only Democratic no came from Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman" (bid to limit Trump's Iran war powers)

WASHINGTON >> A majority of the U.S. Senate backed President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran today, voting to block a Democratic-led resolution aiming to stop the war until hostilities are authorized by Congress.

The Senate voted 52-47 not to advance the war powers resolution, underscoring his party’s continuing support for the Republican president’s war policy more than six weeks after the U.S. and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on February 28.

It was the fourth time that Democrats have forced votes on similar measures since the war began. All of them have failed in the face of opposition from every Republican except Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Paul was the only Republican vote in favor of the resolution in the latest vote. The only Democratic no came from Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. Republican Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia did not vote.

Further proof, apparently, that Trump eats, sleeps, sh*ts, plays golf, watches TV, and probably not much else

Trump threw a Truth Social meltdown on Tuesday after his favorite cable news network dedicated airtime to a Democratic candidate.

Trump, 79, raged at Fox News after the network featured Tom Steyer, a California gubernatorial candidate he branded a “sleazebag.”

“Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him ‘into play,’ instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans?” he wrote.

“How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats? Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win. VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND!”

Block-headed loud-mouthed knuckle-dragging Troy Nehls (R-TX): "We didn't elect the Pope to be our president"

Speaking to a reporter from the Meidas Network, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) said the Pope needs to "keep his business in leading his flock" and "stay out of the political arena." Nehls' comments came after President Donald Trump attacked the Pope on social media, calling him "weak" on crime and "terrible on foreign policy." Trump has also said that the Pope should not criticize the U.S. president or his policies.

"He doesn't need to be getting involved in the political arena," Nehls said. "Go lead your church, but stay out of the politics. We didn't elect the Pope to be our president, or to be anything else. So, just keep his nose in the church's business and stay out of the political arena."

DOJ vacates convictions of 12 Proud Boys / Oathkeepers who were January 6 insurrectionists "in the interests of justice"

The Department of Justice moved Tuesday to vacate the convictions of 12 leading Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were found guilty of crimes committed during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

President Donald Trump commuted the sentences of the 12 rioters on the first day of his second term. However, they did not receive unconditional pardons like the nearly 1500 others convicted in connection with the Capitol attacks.

Trump did not explicitly explain why these rioters’ were not granted a full pardon, but the gravity of their convictions was a likely consideration. As the leaders of their far-right respective extremist groups, these defendants received much heftier sentences. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was originally sentenced to 18 years in prison.

This conviction is the basis of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers appeals. Just days before the defendants’ deadline to file their opening brief with the federal appeals court, the DOJ filed the motion to vacate the convictions altogether.

“The United States has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” the motion filed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.

"President Xi just wrote me a beautiful letter saying that he's not doing that" (giving weapons to Iran)

Vile, bootlicking worm Mike Johnson says ""I'm not one to criticize clerics," then criticizes Pope. Hashtag WEASEL.

During a House Republican press conference on Wednesday, Johnson was asked about President Donald Trump's recent attacks on the pope.

"I'm not one to criticize clerics," the speaker said. "And, you know, a pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want. But obviously if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response, and I think the pope's received some of that."

"You know, I was taken a little bit aback, just honestly, frankly, by — something that was said, I think he said it several days back, something about those who engage in war, you know, that Jesus doesn't hear their prayers or something," he continued. "You know, it is a very well-settled matter of Christian theology. There's something called the just war doctrine. There's a time to every purpose under heaven. I think what the president's comments, what the vice president's comments reflect is their understanding deep in the, you know, the SCIF and the classified briefings of the stakes that are so high in the situation that we're facing and the fact that you had the nation that was the largest sponsor of terrorism now having had that ability taken away from them."

Johnson predicted that "millions of innocent people will be able to keep their lives and not be killed by terrorists" because of Trump's war in Iran.
