House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son (www.vanityfair.com)

Mike Johnson’s meteoric elevation from an under-the-radar congressman from Louisiana to second-in-line to the U.S. presidency sent journalists, Democrats and Republicans alike to uncover information about the personal and professional history of the most right-wing and least experienced House Speaker in history, who took the...

These maga-cult psychos should kill themselves first and go on the killing spree second. Ban guns.

Terrorist Hamas could easily solve this by separating themselves from the civilians and hostages in Gaza. But they won’t, because Hamas terrorists hate Palestinian civilians and prefer to use them as shields.

Oh. So you support terrorist Hamas. Weird flex.

Hamas terrorists murdered several of my fellow Canadian citizens. Fuck you

Grant_M,

Because those fucking Hamas terrorists are using civilians as shields. Are you pro-terrorist weirdos playing with a full deck? What the goddamned hell is wrong with you?

Grant_M,

Fuck you

Why are cowardly terrorist Hamas hiding behind Palestinian civilians instead of separating themselves to protect the civilians? Why are terrorist Hamas murderers such cowards?

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

The far right bigoted ruling party of Israel is shit. The authoritarian bigoted Palestinian leaders are shit. Hamas is holding ALL of them hostage and must be completely wiped out.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Are you completely forgetting the Hamas terrorist slaughter of civilians and the taking of civilian hostages? The Hamas terrorists must have known there would be a retaliation. Why didn’t the barbarian Hamas terrorists make sure Gazans were taken to safety before doing the initial terrorist strike against civilians?

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

No. All of the civilians, Palestinian and Israeli are victims of Hamas.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Terrorists like Hamas do not negotiate.

They should be run out of office. They are inept and bigoted.

Mike Johnson Said Same-Sex Marriage Would Lead to People Marrying Their Pets, Wanted to Sentence Abortion Doctors to “Hard Labor” (www.vanityfair.com)

By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy. Also...

Even McCarthy voted for him because this was the plan all along. I guess 1930s Germany is too far in the past to remember.

Authoritarian DICKtator muskovite having a tantrum.

It's Day 20 with no House speaker, and lower-level names seek Trump's support and race for the gavel (apnews.com)

Republicans gathered late in the evening to hear quick speeches from the congressmen seeking the job, though none has a clear shot at the gavel. Eight candidates are in the running for one speaker after one dropped out. Behind closed doors, they made their elevator pitches to colleagues ahead of internal party voting....

I believe the plan is to simply never elect a speaker, and all of the GOP have agreed to it. Continue the spectacle indefinitely to prove their longtime claim that government doesn’t work. Putin loves his R clowns.

I hope it resolves. Ukraine’s survival and democracy around the globe depends upon a resolution.

More allies are needed, not less. It’s great to know there is one in the Senate. Haven’t you been paying attention to what bigot Moe and his far right government are doing in Saskatchewan?

The fact you’re focusing on the name and not the message is what makes me extremely suspicious about your motives.

CBC and any mainstream media outlet would benefit by creating a Fediverse presence. It would be cheap for them to run a Mastodon instance, (for instance) 🇨🇦

Twitler is trash anyway. Reputable folks/outlets shouldn’t want to be associated with it.

Awesome! That would be a really good step as well. So far I haven’t seen any at all. But we do have a Senator among us! @Paulatics

Has HP printers always been this bad? (sh.itjust.works)

So my mother recently bought an ET-2800, By HP we had an HP printer before and we got a new one because the old one would not work with my sister’s Windows 11 Laptop.

I have an old Laserjet 1020 I bought new many years ago. It still works perfectly on windows, but I haven’t been able to make it print with any Linux distro, so it sits in the corner with nothing to do :(
