It was either that or go on Fox News.

Hardly....

so that link didn't copy right, so use the links at the manifesto in #16

There are links in his virtual manifest that go to a substack called the Ponzi Papers.

Of course, many of his complaints are well recognized, though his history and justifications are of them are, um, 'imaginative' to say the least.

Too bad he felt he had to go to such drastic measures to be heard.

"As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard. So I asked
myself the question: If The Simpsons served the interests of organized crime, how would
it do so?

Well, it offers a dysfunctional family suffering from moral decay, a community incapable
of solving its problems, a worker drone who slaves away for an evil billionaire, and
cathartic laughs for our poor collective circumstances."

.
It turns out that cryptocurrency, the Beatles, and Easy Rider were also involved.

Here's his pic and the manifesto...

"My name is Max Azzarello. Prepare to die."

Doc....

One supposes that Islam will also be ruled out as a religion in Florida.

But hey, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers can recruit in FL schools for the next Capitol Riot!

Yes, the Ukrainian people. And anyone who doesn't want to fight Russia in Poland.

That reads like a two year old who didn't get dessert... much more whining and crying than lawing.

John Eastman and the Lefts War on the Legal Profession

The Path to Victory for Trump

Vice President J.D. Vance (lmao!)

Trumps Fainthearted SCOTUS Picks Could Doom Him in DC Election Case

Trump and Unkle Thomas are obviously not rwing enough for the article author.

And John Eastman was just being a good lawyer when he came up with the conspiracy to substitute Fake Electors for State Certified ones.

- Can you name one that's better and why they are "better"?

There are many accomplished scientists and theologians, theists, agnostics, and atheists that I would consider to not be "weak-minded"... including NT Wright, John Lennox, and Francis Collins among them.

Also Dethspud, but he don't play no mo'.

- assigning that position

lol... he recently offered MGT a job, and was kowtowing to Trump in Mar a Lardo days ago.

Sometimes keeping your job is more important than doing what you are told by the radicals.

"Mike Johnson's Shockingly Pro-Ukraine Speech Really Sticks It to MAGA

The House speaker's comments wrecked one of the far right's most ridiculous, reprehensible tropes.

It was a remarkable moment:

After introducing a package of bills that includes military aid to Ukraine, Mike Johnson flatly told reporters on Wednesday that enabling Ukraine to defend itself is in the best interests of America and the world.

This surprised a lot of people who had wrongly assumed the House speaker was effectively functioning as a stooge for Vladimir Putin"and Donald Trump"and would thus slow-walk Ukraine aid to death before ever allowing a vote on it.

Johnson's new stance has attracted a good deal of positive attention. But I want to highlight an aspect of it that's been overlooked because it's an important tell about the true state of MAGA ideology and what it's demanding of Republicans these days.

.

"I really do believe the intel and the briefings that we've gotten," Johnson said, in a moment that became a mini-speech.

"I think that Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe if he were allowed. I think he might go to the Balkans next. I think he might have a showdown with Poland, or one of our NATO allies."

If so, he added, we might find ourselves sending troops to defend allies from Putin later.

Did we really hear the speaker say that he believes what our intelligence services have told him about the long-term consequences of cutting off aid to Ukraine?

This is a direct challenge to the MAGA worldview in multiple ways.

Johnson is treating Putin as the aggressor in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and acknowledging his broader imperialist designs, which is heresy to some MAGA Republicans. But he's also flatly declaring that on these matters, the deep state is very much to be believed."

The Govs helped steal these workers from the Rust Belt, now they don't want the Union to help them get paid.

But then, the "Union" always has had a bad name way down South in Dixie.

House Dems had to rescue Mikey from his own Tribe of Know-Nothings, lol.

How humiliating.
