… Speaker Mike Johnson on Newsmax: “We are now quite literally locked into a contest to determine whether we’re gonna keep our republic, keep the country as it is, or break this down to the foundation and go down an entirely different road toward communism.”

No, Mikey Li'l Johnson, you, your dear leader, and your toady maggot party broke the republic down to the foundation, as outlined in your manual Project 2025, and the Nerd Reich is pulling your strings. Anti fascist voters will put our country back on the road to democracy.

Mikey was 17 years old when the Wall fell in 1989. He doesn't know anything about communism. I guess it must be a scary word for the MAGA idiots in focus groups. And today, under Trump, ICE is just like the KGB or the Stasi of the old GDR.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Most people nowadays associate nothing with the word "communism" except McCarthyism in history class. We recognize the tactic. Maybe the homeschooled MAGA didn't get that lesson?

Oaktown's avatar

Communism has been a KKK boogieman for centuries. It's a dog whistle white nationalists obey every time.

johanna hays's avatar

Absolutely one reason against home schooling although some stuff even trained teachers fail at.

Oaktown's avatar

... and for fully funding public education.

Karen Rivera's avatar

But if they had been taught to read, they wouldn't be as dumb as they act. However, that would have meant whoever was doing the home schooling would had to have known how to read. This uneducated stupidity is generational, and that's why t-Dump chose them as his base.

ramonaj's avatar

Rob Whit...Don't forget. He spent some time in the woods. With his cookie boy elf friends . He may not have heard about it right away.

Marliss Desens's avatar

I suspect that a lot of people under 65 do not know a lot about communism.

Oaktown's avatar

You're making my case for better public education. There's much to be learned from history that predates your own lifespan.

MM Harris's avatar

I'd like mikey to describe what communism actually is. As in, the very NEXT TIME he brings the topic up. HOLD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE.

Oaktown's avatar

Agree. "Journalists" never ask any of these MAGAs to explain what it is or why they slap the label on Dems.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Mikey, you rat-faced little weasel, We The People will Vote Blue, like grown ups, in Nov to launch all of your sorry asses, and begin recovering from all the harm you've done.

Chuck's avatar

Oh, the irony of PedoMike whining about "communism" as his cult's Dear Leader is LITERALLY engaging in socialism (which his cult calls "communism") by taking a PORTION of Nvidia and other corporations, and in COMMUNISM by colonializing Venezuela and nationalizing their oil industry by seizing ALL the assets and controlling the means of production "for" them...

But when your cult has nothing to run on other than fearmongering and disinformation, I guess everything can be an endless barrage of lies. Too bad they don't have anything SUBSTANTIAL that would benefit the American people like better trade deals and allowing farmers to sell, strengthening alliances with fellow democracies to pressure autocracies to "knock it off" with the warmongering and civil rights atrocities, working to ensure a diverse (ooh, dirty word in (R) circles, I know) energy future less reliant on terrorist regimes "ALLOWING" us to get fossil fuels, and repairing our more-loopholes-than-taxes tax code to generate revenue from the ones with the MOST to gain from effective governance: if they *DID*, they could run on THAT (instead of the record now: new forever war, $5 gas/$6 diesel, new records for food-borne illnesses and MEASLES that were largely eradicated years ago, Gestapo killing Americans in the street without accountability, record oathbreaking by Republicans in Congress, SCOTUS, and the Klown Kar Kabinet as they eagerly violate our Constitution that they swore to uphold...)

It stuns me that given the price increases listed, the gop thinks 3.6% increase in cola, largely for folks with no other income, is too much

Jo Burns's avatar

Please remember that the Medicare will also increase 3.8% so we gain nothing.

Karen Rivera's avatar

How many white nationalist Maghats are getting a cut of the billions while they try to buy food, fuel, healthcare, housing? I'm guessing none of them. Even if they are truly illiterate, they know they don't have as much money as they used to for their families to live on. Duh

Fuck Google, YouTube and other "Alphabet" shit. It's only a matter of time before Tim Cook drops to his knees and makes the change on Apple. I'm so sick of these fascist fucks! Sundar Pichai 🖕

I hunt through my computer's cookies every day and delete any Google cookie I find. This "Lake America" crap only makes me hate Google even more.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Totally!! I have so much hatred for all of these CEOs that turned fascist.

Oaktown's avatar

I haven't used Google for years; I search with duckduckgo.com. The only time I go to Google is to give them a piece of my mind in the search bar when I'm really pissed off. I do watch YouTube, but have never (nor will I ever) open a Google account and consent to their "terms and conditions."

Karen Rivera's avatar

Yes exactly - I haven't seen the commercial in awhile but they play that Song by the Police "Every Step You Take" while a creepy Google guy looks at everything going on. I love Duck Duck Go, and I use Brave as my Browser which stops tons of cookies, trackers, ads, etc.

Oaktown's avatar

Do websites function OK in the Brave browser?

And how 'bout those F**kerberg "stalker" glasses? You know, the ones he and his crew wore into the LA trial after the judge had banned cameras from the courtroom—and that creepy men use to belittle women who never consented to being recorded? Screw 'em all; they're a bunch of sick psychopaths. It even pisses me off that San Francisco General Hospital wears his name. They all need to retire permanently to their bunkers; we'll throw away the key and let their supplies run out. Then they can eat their money.

johanna hays's avatar

We have to admit to the degree they have us surrounded.

Oaktown's avatar

That's exactly what they're counting on, but there are alternatives, and I use them whenever possible ... and nothing Meta has to offer is necessary for survival. If a critical mass of people deleted their Meta accounts doors would open for better people with better business models to compete with companies like Meta who are ruining our society and country while they become richer and more powerful.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's true, Johanna. Pisses me off.

ramonaj's avatar

I don't even have a PC anymore. Just this phone. And it is not Apple. I do watch you tube because without it I have no Tv. The wi fi sucks. The screen is too small. I type like shit and make alot of mistakes. I am so grateful to MTN and love this community, but I can't friggin wait to break the damn thing in half and be done with this shit.

I guess my question for Ron is Do you ever see me getting my wish?

Susan Raquel's avatar

My son got me an I Phone to bring me into the modern age. lol I use it for pictures, occasional telephone calls and text -- to my son

I don't know how he did it; but, I don't have to type, I just speak into it and the text message is typed.

Maybe that would be possible to do on your phone?

ramonaj's avatar

I am lucky I can do this Susan 🤣 so not into tech. Its sad. 👍 I will see if my kids know

ramonaj's avatar

👋 hey Jo . I agree. I can not take much more of this crap. The endless lies and BS. This has to be stopped. It's insane. Everyday. 😡🤬🤬🤬

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

We will NEVER forget what they have done. These fuckers think we "need" them. We need to show them we "don't need" them.

ramonaj's avatar

I do not believe the remainder of this country sees what we see. They are either ignoring everything or believing this shit. It is because of those ignoramus' that he got in office . The stupidity of it is unforgivable. If you voted for him. This is on YOU.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I read yesterday some of these dumb fuck Americans believe that Russia and N. Korea are good guys and all of our "former" allies are bad guys. They believe every fucking word Trump/FOX News etc. say! We are so beyond fucked.

Francois Boudreau's avatar

In Canada, Google maps still displays Lake Ontario and Golf of Mexico. I'm guessing it's the same everywhere else in the World, except in the US. (And Salvador or Argentina maybe...)

Karen Rivera's avatar

Mapquest posted a message on their screen that says "not changing the name-ever"

elliemae.padme66's avatar

Was told you could edit Google maps. Check under your profile picture or upper right corner to edit and comment.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's good to know, Francois. Gee, us Americans are so lucky we have to see that shit. *sarcastic* I'm glad Canada and other countries don't have to see that crap.

ramonaj's avatar

Goes to show DUM OLD has his smelly little purple hands up the butt of Google in the USA.

Francois Boudreau's avatar

Well actually it says "Golf of Mexico (Golf of America)" and I just read in a local news paper that it will become the same for Lake Ontario at some point. Still a bit better.

WJB Motown's avatar

Just catering to Trumptards who are the 'I love the uneducated.' They have no fucking clue about anything exept Maga hats and beating up immigrants.

Hey Joanne I've missed you!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's sweet, Karen. I've been limiting my time lately. It is causing so much anger and distress with this fascist shit. I've been struggling a bit so it is best to limit my time here. I love you guys but I have take care of myself. 🫶🏼

Karen Rivera's avatar

100% take care of you! Its a message to all of us to check in on ourselves and do what we need to do to feel ok. Maghats are going to work hard to cause as much chaos as possible until Nov. 🫶🏼

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It is becoming increasingly difficult to get a decent sleep at night lately and my temper has been flaring. I don't like feeling this way. I'll pop in from time to time. ❤️

elliemae.padme66's avatar

Look under your profile picture or upper right corner at the three dots. Can edit and leave comments on Google maps.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Thanks, Elliemae. You can also Google "Lake Ontario" and when it comes up "Lake America" you can complain and say it's "Lake Ontario." If millions of us do this, maybe that fucker Sundar will change it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Paul Kaufman's avatar

When Tim Cook drops to his knees it would be nice if, instead of sucking Trump’s dick, he bit it like Trump’s dick was bitten by the 13 year old girl in the Epstein files….

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Ahahahahahahaha!!! You made me laugh so hard, Paul!! Love it! Damn!! He deserves to get his nasty ass dick bit right off.

I’m glad I could cause a laugh Joanne. And I agree that bit off is better than just bit.

The FBI: Competing with ICE to hire the worst of the worst

Christina Gray's avatar

Well, then there's the stipulation that the act of bestiality happened before the applicant turned 18. Excuse me?

Wendy B.'s avatar

Bestiality is animal abuse with a sick, perverted sexual twist. Teens who commit animal abuse often grow up to be domestic abusers and sometimes serial killers. Teens who commit sexual offenses usually just keep committing them until they get caught. There are many offenses I would be willing to overlook when committed by a teenager, but not that one.

KCM's avatar

Agree Wendy. Obviously, Kash agreed to this policy change, and it's mind-boggling. For reasons of blackmail alone, this is a bad idea, not to mention that most sex offender treatment program providers would tell you that bestiality is a gateway to more deviant behavior ( e.g., sadism, child sexual abuse images). This is a really bad idea that will come back to haunt the FBI.

ramonaj's avatar

Now that qualifies you to be in the FBI. What could possibly go wrong ? 🤔 🙄

Jim Devaney's avatar

New FBI candidate screening tool. "Can you fog a mirror?"

Bob's avatar

Which raises, again, the question of a certain Supreme Court Justice. I have to wonder if there were other victims who were too scared to come forward or told it would be bad for their families if they came forward.

ramonaj's avatar

These people are supposed to be law enforcement. WTF

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Remember that former cop lady, Ramona? I wonder what she is saying now? 🤔 You remember, yes? The one I blocked? 😒

ramonaj's avatar

I could give two shits what that bitch has to say. They are all nuts Joanne. She was a cop /nurse. Sure thing . What a psycho! Never heard from her again. 🤯

Bob's avatar

Future serial-killers need to work somewhere. /s

Oaktown's avatar

... and the DOJ.

LHS's avatar

I almost laughed out loud when I read he was blaming BIDEN for the low SPR. Almost. Yep, Joe Biden did everything bad in our country. Saint Donnie is gonna fix it all for us. Sheesh.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Yeah, he sure has fixed it - just ask the sailors on USS Abe Lincoln

Karlos's avatar

Ask the Editor Q:

This is more commentary than question, but it needs to be addressed.

Why are so many Dem consultants so obsessed with Piker? I'm not a fan of Piker and don't listen to him, but I understand a lot of young people do. That said, he's just a streamer, not ane elected or party or DNC leader. At the same time, these same Dem consultants are completely ignoring the vile vitriol from Loomer, who actually has Trump's ear. Why are Dem consultants more worried about slamming AES vis-á-vis Piker than slamming Trump and Republicans vis-á-vis Loomer?

Rita Parker's avatar

Corporate Democrats know how to turn victory into losing. They're owned by AIPAC. They support Israel over the United States. They also don't like Muslims like Mamdani and El-Sayed. Piker is simply a tool to destabilize El-Sayed. I'm an old white woman, who would not be described as Progressive by the people who know me. BUT, I like Hasan Piker and I do listen to what he has to say. They're trying to make him into the boogeyman, but he's not. Worse, they give the Laura Loomers of the world a pass.

bLUEduRham's avatar

Dem consultants… suck.

RobWhitH's avatar

Piker is not a candidate. He is just someone with a big mouth like thousands of others in social media. Like Carlson, Greene, Megyn, the Laura's and so many others that say outrageous stuff for clicks and engagement...the iron laws of social media. He and they should be ignored. But the State of Israel is worried that the bi-partisan coalition of Carte Blanche support in Congress is falling apart so I think we can expect that government to conduct a propaganda and disinformation campaign against Democrats, and who best to start with than the political consultant class? Forget it: vote for Democrats up and down the ballot in November. Job #1 is to get control of Congress and thus the government away from Trump's total control.

ramonaj's avatar

Yes Rob. Vote blue. And then we can sort out the rest. This BS needs to be ignored as it is all propaganda that has failed before. Shout it out. Call them the liars they are. We have to win at any cost. November is the end . Or the beginning of the fight. All my energy is for justice warriors. Fighting them in court. Making them pay for doing all this damage. Then , repairing America for the future ..we need real changes. Alot of them

Wendy B.'s avatar

Well, the thing Piker said was about Jews. And I believe the DNC has received a substantial amount of funding from Israel in the past/maybe recently as well. Possibly they have something to do with each other?

Mika Anderson's avatar

The DNC is pretty much AIPAC. They support corporate dems and will not support anyone not committed to Israel. Ken Martin is terrible and as of right now has pretty much bankrupted the DNC. They chased out David Hoag who was a younger more progressive leader because he wouldn't back PACS.

CSmith's avatar

… “The new standards also specifically address applicants who have engaged in past acts of bestiality or animal cruelty – saying they may still be considered for the bureau as long as the incidents took place before the age of 18.” Even if someone were to have engaged in that activity before the age of 18 there is seriously something wrong with them!!! Really?? The FBI is going to hell in a hand-basket which was already obvious with it being under the direction of Kash Patel but really how low can you go?? 👹 Thanks, Ron, for your hard work on a Sunday and I hope you enjoyed your Saturday off!!! 😎

Christina Gray's avatar

What keeps running through my mind is that many serial killers got their start killing animals -- well before their 18th birthday. So, yah, there's probably something wrong with them.

CSmith's avatar

Yes, I should have added that comment!

LHS's avatar

How far the FBI has fallen. Disturbing and disgusting.

Bob's avatar

And if you run an agency like the FBI for another country, are you going to be as willing to cooperate with the FBI agents who show up? MI-5 would rather have the slow horses.

Rita Parker's avatar

I can hear it now: Sure I had sex with a goat, but I was sixteen. Make me an FBI agent. Seriously, WTF.

My take on this is that Kash Patel might have been charged with bestiality before he turned 18…

Melanie Marie's avatar

Trump giving away part of Yosemite National Park to Kingsbarn Realty.

Trump administration reportedly pressured NPS to give Kingsbarn Realty a Yosemite land parcel, raising concerns over a proposed road to its nearby resort.

Also…he destroyed 60 DC Cherry trees for a golf course!!!

colo-ski's avatar

Oh, the tree thing really pees me off.

Can this guy ever leave anything of beauty? And historic alone, he's just a wrecking ball, a tyrant. I mean, a 115-year-old trees probably as part of post-world War II. I don't know, but they're beautiful. I'm sure people walk down that path. Daily looking at those trees in the fall. And just in awe

But not any more, thanks for nothing ya Traitorous, piece of 💩

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

Destroying those trees is not getting the press coverage it deserves. It's an abomination!

ramonaj's avatar

I freaked out at his disgusting disregard for rules , again! He was told NOT TO DO IT. ASSHOLE only speaks stupid.

ramonaj's avatar

Yes. Not trying to be snarky, but that was yesterday ? Maybe. He is on to something else already . The asshole is constantly getting worse and worse.

Bob's avatar

So he can take a historic, civic course beloved by golfers in Washington and turn it into a PGA venue. Clearing trees is sign the old course is going to be bulldozed and he’ll spend millions or more to create another monument to himself.

ramonaj's avatar

He is just going to leave another disaster. Another deconstruction by Blob the Builder.

Loretta M Little's avatar

Thank you for that….it is difficult to laugh at present, but your comment did the trick….

ramonaj's avatar

I'm so angry. That's when it is worse. No problem Loretta

Yosemite and the Cherry trees. DC is known for those gorgeous trees. I hate this man and these criminals with the heat of a thousand suns. Maybe he will get hit in the head with a golf ball going 100 mph ⛳

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

I can understand Arab-American voters sitting out the 2024 election, given Biden's decision to continue supporting Netanyahu's murderous campaign in Gaza, but they were fooling themselves to believe that Trump actually would work to reign in Netanyahu, or work for a settlement of the ear in Gaza.

Oaktown's avatar

They acted like petulant children the way I see it. Anyone paying even a little attention could easily see Harris would have been a better overall choice than a demented convicted sexual predator, crook, and tax fraud who tried to overthrow the rule of law—and who loved BiBi.

Charlie's avatar

Gotta disagree, Oak.

I heard a young Palestinian American man in 2024 who said that over 100 members of his family had been killed by Israel.

Would you vote for the standard-bearer of that party, which had greenlit and funded the slaughter? Especially when that candidate refused--many times--to give even an inch?

I sure as hell wouldn't. I would be wondering how I could take one of them out.

We wouldn't criticize Jews for not voting for the Nazi candidate, would we?

As usual, the story in MI is much more nuanced. Trump's people worked hard in MI, promising peace, and T campaigned as the No More Wars candidate. Harris wouldn't even meet with Arab leaders, FFS, although Muslims make up a significant chunk of population in a must-win state. Arabs in MI voted for Stein and Cornel West. Trump pulled in more than he had in 2016.

The problem was, and still is, that Democrats are bought (or perhaps just rented) by foreign genocidal supremacists. And too many of them are A-Ok with their bigotry or the bigotry of their colleagues.

Fixing that is not the responsibility of the victims of that genocide and bigotrg.

The Guardian had a good analysis of the voting patterns on Nov 9 2024.

My final point may perhaps sound harsh: Voters do not owe a party their loyalty no matter how much the party craps on them. The party has the burden of persuading voters. If the party can't be bothered, how can they be surprised?

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

I understand what you're

saying. Harris was foolish to reject meeting with the Arab-American community on Michigan.

ramonaj's avatar

I have been saying this for a minute, In normal times I trusted the party. This isn't normal. I feel like a person without a country. I don't think party works anymore. I don't know how this ends. But we are in for one hell of a ride.

Charlie's avatar

I hear you. I was introduced a long time ago to the travesty of American ideals that is our Middle East policy. The Israel lobby has so dehumanized the Arabs that they criticize them for having human reactions! If you strip away the excuses and propaganda, the modern history of Israel is full of horrors, reminiscent of our extermination of our indigenous peoples.

I haven't been able to trust the Democratic Party for a long time-- it's like an abuser who sometimes acts normally, sometimes does something good--but you know that the same old *old* shit is in there and might come out at any turn of events.

We are in for a helluva ride. I know we can do better, but it will require clarity of vision, and tenacity. (Just like any other effort)

bLUEduRham's avatar

Some need to learn the hard way. Ask the NYT which now cries foul. Yet they continue to serve this criminal. Were people asleep during the Covid debacle? Who did you (not you, bitchy) think you were voting for? Agh!

Wendy B.'s avatar

I recall making that same point with them. When you have a choice between a deranged rapist and an excellent statesman who has a few policies that you don't like, you don't vote for the rapist. You vote for the statesman and try to get him to change those policies you don't like by phone calls and other means.

Charlie's avatar

That would be the case if Harris could qualify as an excellent statesman. Just because she occupied the office of VP?

She was hand-picked by Biden out of the rubble of her campaign which crashed soon after launch, because Biden said he was going to pick a black woman. Phew, that's two tokens in one, for the second-most important job in the world? He picked her because she'd been friends with his dead son (and, she would be quieter than some other Black Women he could have picked). Then a failing Biden hand-picked her again. That was an impossible position: the VP of an unpopular President (fair or not, that's where he was). That has never been a winning position. And she wouldn't allow any daylight between him and her.

We landed in this catastrophe because of the arrogance of the Democratic Party elites along with the stupidity of MAGA voters. And the Democratic Party elites are still at it, still insisting they and their big donors know best.

ramonaj's avatar

We are talking about people who wore "I'M VOTING FOR THE FELON " merch. So there's that element 😏

Ann Marie's avatar

Am I the only person concerned about lowering the hiring standards for FBI agents? Have they considered why hiring is so difficult? Could it be that an agency that many qualified individuals used to desire has totally sullied itself. Next they’ll use the hiring standards for ICE. Pathetic isn’t it?

Oaktown's avatar

No, you're not alone in your concern, and yes, it is a pathetically self-inflicted deficit.

Melone's avatar

Ultimately, it’s all about them protecting their own position. If they risk losing their power and control, they want nothing but lackeys working for them—people willing to do anything. He probably wants a specific person on the team and had to "adjust" the "rules" to make that happen. Besides, who within that regime actually has a problem with psychopathic behavior or sexual crimes? No one! It’s a club of perverts.

Robin D's avatar

Did you hear about our new air traffic controllers? Yes, Donnie Darko wanted MIT genius grads for $15/hr but Sean Duffy is hiring gamers.

Deane Cardinalli's avatar

I have a question for you. According to an NBCNews.com story, Democratic Congressional leaders (Clyburn) are saying that impeaching Trump is not a Democratic priority. How do you feel about this?

colo-ski's avatar

This is what worries me daily. Is that if we do have a massive blue wave? And we take the house and maybe even the Senate by one seat, these dems, these establishment old guard, people do not have the balls nor the desire to indict prosecute and convict these people..

Which definitely needs to happen.

RobWhitH's avatar

You are incorrect in your assessment. We are all angry. That is why we have to vote for Democrats no matter what Trump's regime does to try to stop us. In a new Democratic Congress, the leaders get elected in January. The old guard is likely to be replaced especially if the progressive wing wins big. But the most important thing is to get a Democratic Congress. Congress does not have the power to indict, prosecute or convict. It has the power to impeach and convict, provided there are 67 Senators who would vote to convict. That is a high bar to cross. Congress has the power to investigate and if there is a Democratic majority, Democrats will chair all the committees and subcommittees, and they can order and lead investigations. They will control spending authorizations and appropriations, including the Supreme Court's.

Deb Zim's avatar

I believe that is the plan. Investigate, subpoena, hearings. Get all the info out to the American people, and it's the same as impeachment hearings without impeachment. The goal being to turn the American people against all Rs and their corruption and collusion and enabling.

Deb Zim's avatar

Oh, and maybe impeach several cabinet members.

Yeah you're right, I the sense of house/ senate But i'm thinking more civilian sense if it was just a court of law with lawyers.

Either way, it's all the same direction they all need to be taken down off the ladder They're standing on

Criminal prosecutions are handled by the DOJ, so it will take a new administration in 2029 to make that happen.

Hakeem is a huge disappointment, but so are a lot of the Democratic caucus.

The options remain very limited. The primary issue is that things are being blocked—and that requires justification and explanation. Expectations are too high. If a change of power occurs in 2028, things will be different. But by then, all the institutions will be filled with loyalists, traitors, and incompetent idiots. Once the midterms are won, the transition must be thoroughly prepared.

I agree with Clyburn. There will not be 67 Senators who will vote for conviction. I think you go against Trump like you do a mafia family: work from the outside/lower ranks up. Impeach some people like Hegseth and RFK, or Lutnick. Use that process to build a record of evidence. At the same time, investigate, investigate and investigate. Set up a special committee on Corruption. Cut the budget for ICE and mandate bare faces, no shock gloves, and names shown. Increase the IRS budget to attack tax evasion. $600 billion of taxes due are not paid!

They can't convict him after impeachment unless they hold 2/3 of the Senate, and even if there is a huge blue wave, not enough of the Senate is up for election this fall. I agree with them: impeachment is a complete waste of time. They should focus on investigating and convicting all of his co-conspirators.

I appreciate the comments but meant this question for Ron.

All of these are the same answers Ron would tell you. The correct way to do it is to investigate and wait till 2028. Dems taking out all the broligarchs, and the corporations that are funding his agenda will be complicit and the money will stop as well as the support and he'll be a lame duck.
