Aww Pete! He looked like the adorable, goofy beagle that loved everyone! Tuesday was “The Apprentice VP edition” of who can spew the most prearranged talking points as TFG was editing their text before they took to the mike. Sucks when a reporter catches you doing that in court to keep you busy before you violate your gag order and using the contestants to be your mob dressed thugs. Too bad they didn’t stick around to hear the Xeets and podcasts of what Cohen called TFG (dictator douch bag, Cheeto dusted cartoon villain, just remember this is now a permanent court record for future generations). Liz had it correct, Mike Johnson and those great republican family values of I’d have sex with a porn star then go to church on Sunday and repent my sin quietly.
Thank you, always. Nobody can say what you say so well! I loved the pictures of your guys. I once lived with two Labs, black and chocolate. We would go to an old dock near my house and I would throw sticks in the water for them. They often swam together and carried one stick between them. Once I watched the two Lab heads paddle out to a marshy area in the water. As one, the two heads hung a U turn and raced back to me followed by a flotilla of swan parents! I just love dogs!
Speaking of dogs-are you familiar with Spencer Quinn’s “Chet “stories? Dog consciousness comes for us, an antidote for our species being an insult to intelligence!!
Leave it to Liz Cheney to expose the glaring hypocrisy so prevalent in today's Republican party. Would that these "leaders" had one-tenth the courage Ms. Cheney has.
I am not a troll but I fear trump is going to win. As an independent I can't believe that one again the dems played Charlie brown with Lucy and the football again. Sure ,Mike Johnson was going to play nice if you saved him. Can't help but say dems seem to like to step on rakes too. Like comer and Jordan
I miss hearing you say, on a semi regular basis on the bulwark pod. “just a reminder, you’re not the crazy one”. So much has been normalized and it feels like we’re getting gaslit at every turn. I keep thinking what would someone think if they went into a coma 10 years ago and woke up now. I mean, there’s a lot we think is crazy. But there’s also a lot that we’ve gotten used to over time.
The voters of Florida, Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana and North Dakota should all demand these Trump sycophants repay their respective state treasuries for today’s service to the most corrupt, misogynistic” “politician” in the Republic’s history. They certainly didn’t earn their salaries!!!
Especially you, Speaker Johnson. Your behavior, your disregard for truth, for the rule of law — disgraces not just your years as a practicing Constitutional lawyer but, also, your son’s service in our great Navy.
Seeing all these Republicans in front of the court house decrying what they claim to be a travesty of justice against Donald Trump, all I can think is, where were they when Michael Cohen went on trial for the same thing? Where was all this high dudgeon then? Why is it a shocking display of prosecutorial overreach now when it’s Trump, but it wasn’t then when it was the guy who turned on Trump? And why is no one in the media willing to point out this double standard to them? They are, after all, engaging in these performative displays for and in front of the media. The media is there; they can ask them stuff.
Oh Charlie, need I remind you the democrats made a deal with Johnson. In exchange for getting aide to Ukraine, they protected him as they promised. In other words democrats keep their word and act with honor. Republicans never heard of either.
It would be funny if over time Trump's biggest bootlickers increasingly resembled the Orange Avatar of Rage himself--first the blue suits/red ties, then the weird bronzing of the skin, then the chaotic cotton candy mop of hair, then the perma-scowl...scary, but amusing to picture (thinking of something like "Zelig").
I know how you feel, you just gotta get it off your chest.
In particular, when I saw the Trump coterie file into the courtroom this morning I burst out into omg laughter.
I imagined how these Keystone Clones all scrambled to change into their matching outfits on the bus ride from Trump Tower to the courthouse. I can’t stop seeing this!
There can be no doubt that Trump is requiring these humiliating displays of fealty as his due. Shame is dead.

Democrats suppressed their gag reflex and supported Mike Johnson for Ukraine.
Mike Johnson has no gag reflex, he supports Trump because he doesn’t want to be disfellowshipped from his real church, the Cult of Trump.
That’s worse than losing your soul for Wales.
"The old man and the sea."
Pete! 😁😊🐾🏖️🫧

However, one save will be enough. Johnson should be on his own the next time.
Thanks for posting Charlie. I subscribed. You had me at Pete.

Mike Pence. Franklin Graham. Mike Johnson. I thought these men had Christ in their lives. Why would they ever need Donald Trump?
“but damn…”
