Is Ron Johnson competing for the most creative MAGAs BS’er in Congress? Hey Ron tell us more lies.. then GFY.

Steve Forman's avatar

Johnson has always been a tool. Probably second in stupid remarks behind only Tuberville.

olderwoman's avatar

I second that Steve F, I second that.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

No, he's just an idiot.

MM Harris's avatar

Yes: Nice try ron; SHOW US THE RECEIPTS LIKE A BIG BOY.

Putin has the Trump-Epstein bank receipts.

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

The KGB is talented with honey and money traps. Trump openly admitted Russians supplied their cash needs. And Epstein - Trump conducted international “business” via Soviet and Soviet block banks. You can bet Trump takes his orders from the guy Trump had our soldiers on their knees literally rolling out the red carpet for. To say nothing of secret meetings with no Americans in the room. 47 is a Russian asset. Why else did Russia work so hard to get him elected?

Remember that meeting Trump & Putin had in Helsinki during Trump’s first regime? The one where Trump made his translator destroy her notes? Remember the photo of them walking out of the meeting where Trump looked like a whipped dog & Putin looked like the cat who swallowed the canary? I think Trump got his marching orders from Putin at that meeting. I also think Trump’s obsession about the 2020 election & it being rigged was because it was supposed to be rigged in his favor. But, far more people voted by mail that year & Biden legitimately won. Why else does Trump hate mail in voting? I believe the 2024 election was rigged with Russia & Elon’s help. Trump has even said without Elon & his computers he wouldn’t have won. And now we’re living Trump doing Putin’s bidding, destroying this country.

MM Harris's avatar

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, and YEP. (I believe the puppet's grooming by the internationally recognized world's best manipulator began around 2010 or 11..)

Cheryl's avatar

I did not know about the fact that DJT made his translator destroy notes from the meeting! I bet Putin has his notes!

Alastair McLean's avatar

Agent Orange probably got the green light to attack Iran from Putin. You can't tell me no one thought the Straits of Hormuz would be closed. Putin would have known that and recognised the opportunity to use Israel to get Russian oil freed up to pay for continuing his grind on Ukraine. Russia's economy was on the ropes. Now, not so much as the USA is spending billions daily to fill Russia's coffers. Trump works for Putin. Period.

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

Aye. And suddenly Putin is selling billions in previously sanctioned oil. So now Trump is enabling Putin to continue his regime and war. It’s intuitively obvious to the most casual observer Trump is a Russian puppet.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

and probably those stolen classified documents.

olderwoman's avatar

I think once Trump does that Jack Smith who is still a young man, will talk.

There is no reason for maintain Judge Aileen's order to seal everything once Trump is dead. I bet i outlive Trump. I exercize 3 times a week just like Medicare says I should.

Ann Beyer's avatar

And pictures! Indisputable proof!

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

Absolutely. I’d bet pics, videos, audio and docs.

… Speaker of the Iranian Parliament MB Ghalibaf posted some financial advice today: “Heads-up: Pre-market so-called ‘news’ or ‘Truth’ is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator. Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long. See something tomorrow? You know the drill.”

Too bad Iranians are smarter about what Agolf Shitler is doing to fix the market for his benefit than all the "Big Brains" on Wall Street.

MM Harris's avatar

They're smart and they're long-term thinkers/planners. They're determined. You gotta give them credit for cultivating and implementing the skills "others" so sorely lack. They are in control of this war. It will end when THEY want it to. They are the hornets in the nest nobody should have kicked, especially in the MIDDLE of negotiations that a participating third party felt were actually showing some promise of getting somewhere.

Oaktown's avatar

… Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) insanely claimed on Fox that Democrats engaged in a conspiracy to get ICE protesters killed for political leverage: “Even more deviously, they trained activists to obstruct justice, encouraged them to put themselves in harm’s way, they got two martyrs, then they used their martyrs as their excuse to try to defund law enforcement.”

If these magas applied as much creativity to finding practical solutions to real problems currently undermining our prosperity and security as they do turning realities they can't face into contortionist conspiracy theories, they just might cure their fatal Trump Derangement Syndromes.

Keith Olson's avatar

Ron Johnson needs to be impeached immediately for this outrageous lie.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

If we impeached politicians for outrageous lies Congress and state legislatures would be empty.

C Bowlby's avatar

That's OK, preferred over lies&corruption!

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

We'd still have plenty of congresspeople left — but they'd all be Democrats. I can make you a list. We have some terrific Democratic congresspeople.

WJB Motown's avatar

Bring on the "terrific" progressive Democrats...........Chuckles and AIPAC Jeffires need to go. Their clock has run out and time for fresh batteries with new life.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

Yes, we do. I over generalized for the sake of a snarky comment.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

Snark seems to be your sole and unwelcome raison d'être. Maybe go bye-bye.

Oaktown's avatar

I think that would leave the Dems at a distinct advantage.

Tracy Giddings's avatar

They lie too, just not as blatantly or often.

Oaktown's avatar

They do not tell what you described as "outrageous lies," and I only said it will leave them at a distinct advantage.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

The entire lapdog ReThuglican party lies. Nothing but chaos, lies, corruption from this unethical administration every single day. What a constant source of embarrassment this pedophile protection party continues to be. Just imagine our kids and grandkids knowing the leader is a 34 ct convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter. Smdh, no moral compass or human decency with these losers.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Who are Johnson 's donors and handlers?

Margaret's avatar

Johnson gets a lot of money from right-wing billionaires in ILLINOIS.

Gloria Cantor's avatar

Ron Johnson's suggestion about Democrats actually " causing" the martyrdom of Pretti and Good is totally despicable! He sounds like a Party member out of 1984 (I'm rereading it right now, so it's on my mind).

teresafbrooks's avatar

I'm nearing the end of Arendt's "Origins of Totalitarianism," and the final chapters are very resonant to today.

Also have 1984 on my shelf to read again, but think I will take a movie break between.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

Good for you, actually rereading 1984. Well done.

SFGal's avatar

I taught 1984 for high school literature as fiction and can't believe we're now actually living it, Barry!

LHS's avatar

I read it a few months ago. So, so much feels familiar about that book.

John Schwarzkopf's avatar

LHS, I also reread it again a couple months ago. It was like reading the current news.

LHS's avatar

I read "It Can't Happen Here" around the same time. It was also like reading the current news. As I read it, I realized ICE was the equivalent of the Minutemen in that book.

Tracy Giddings's avatar

I read it in Highschool, then again about 20 years ago. I think one more time soon is in order.

Funding Cheeto And Nazi Republicans Gestapo

What’s wrong with this picture? The Nazi Republicans are demanding $200B for more funding for Mullin’s Gestapo which he inherited from cowgirl Noem and Adolph Eichmann(aka Stephen Miller)

But wait for it This demand for more $$$ comes when Cheeto and his Nazi Congressional allies passed $45B in the first budget bill last year So now this most recent funding bill for ICE/CBP is 4.5x more than originally allocated Why does ICE need this more extensive funding? Since spendthrift Cheeto sees the Treasury as his own piggy bank it’s just a vicarious request to screw the American people without accountability

Is the funding for more concentration camps? Is it to hire and partially train more Gestapo agents to roam and maraud American communities? Is it to use extra Gestapo agents at polling places during the midterms? It’s surely not for border patrol agents since there aren’t any immigrants coming across the border anymore Nobody wants to live in a gulag D’s are making the Nazis accountable and they don’t like it

Nancy Richardson's avatar

Thanks again Ron for straight facts and receipts. We can always count on the Meidas team for the truth.

Kathleen Yost's avatar

Good update! I always look forward to your reports.

JohnC-Va's avatar

… Tim O’Harrow: “I don’t know that I’m a Republican anymore. I don’t know what we are anymore.”

But you voted for him in 2024 for the third time, didn’t you Tim? 4 years after his attempted insurrection and overthrow of a legitimately elected government, you goddam voted for him again, I’m willing to bet. And it’s pathetic that it took him terrorizing your workers to get you to finally see a sliver of the light. I have no sympathy for you or anyone else, including the fucking farmers, who refused to see this piece of shit for what he is until the results of his criminal actions come knocking on your front door. If you had any sense at all, you would have left that criminal organization calling itself the Republican Party a long damned time ago. Good luck finding out where you do belong now.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

Agree. My sympathy is reserved for his workers.

Melissa's avatar

Yes! I just left a similar comment. Yours is better!

Sharon Bjork's avatar

"Whatever Putin has on Trump, it’s got to be pretty good"...ain't that the truth, Ron. You could literally write that everyday.

teresafbrooks's avatar

I wonder how many have something pretty good on 47.

Oaktown's avatar

Jack Smith sure does. Release Volume II of our taxpayer funded report!!!

Oaktown's avatar

… Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL): “It appears there are some very angry, low-IQ members of Congress who seem to think the State Dept did not approve travel for peace talks regarding Russia.”

No, the low IQ individuals are the WH idiots like you who think Putin wants peace. He wants Ukraine and every former USSR vassal state.

LHS's avatar

Some day, we'll find out how much Putin is paying her and Tulsi.

Oaktown's avatar

Wish I could believe that, but sure hope you're right and it happens in my lifetime.

Lynette Mason's avatar

Her remark really pissed me off.

CSmith's avatar

Putin must have something really good on our Tyrant, which means it must be really bad and we all know what it must be in relation to…drum roll…Epstein! So we have a Tyrant who is just a Putin Puppet which we all knew that as well but it is showing more and more in actions that cannot be hidden. God help us to get through the next 2.9 years! Wonderful weekend bulletin and No Kings signs, Ron, thank you!!!

Don't forget money laundering and loans for a perpetually bankrupt idiot who was shut out of many American banks.

ramonaj's avatar

He has alot of dirty secrets from the Casino days and even before. He has been a slime since born.

Knowing the shit he's pulled , I will NEVER get why anyone would vote for him for anything. Still can not believe it.

War is hell. A woman president never would have gone to war.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

See Margaret Thatcher for counter example.

Golda Meier as well (not sure if I spelled her name correctly)

Oaktown's avatar

Hillary too. Voted to invade Iraq.

First-century Celtic queen Boudica led an uprising against the Roman occupiers.

Oaktown's avatar

I'm thinking that was a justified, defensive war, unlike this Iran "excursion."

Robot Bender's avatar

I wouldn't bet on that. Women rulers have gone to war throughout history.

Especially American ones.

"Normalizing" the presence of ICE in public forums, such as airports, to inure the public to the presence of an armed militia pre-voting: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents could remain at U.S. airports, where President Trump had sent them to respond to a shortage of security employees during a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, even after those employees are paid again, [Tom Homan,] Mr. Trump’s chief border official said on Sunday.
