it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Woman Accuses Michael Tait of Drugging Her and Watching While She Was Raped; Says Newsboys Tour Manager Covered It Up After singer Michael Tait admitted he has preyed on other men, a woman who worked with the Newsboys says she was raped while Tait watched.

The crimes perpetrated by Michael Tait and other Newsboys associates expose a pattern of abuse that demands answers. How many victims are still suffering in silence? How many enablers turned a blind eye to protect their cash cow? julieroys.com/woman-accuse...

I'm watching Trump at a press event at the G7 with our PM Mark Carney.

He's trying to get Russia back into the G7. Blames Trudeau, but conservative Stephen Harper was PM at the time.

He claims that there would be no war. But Russia was ousted because Putin invaded Crimea.

Trump is an idiot.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who illegally withheld millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

The pardon came after his mother attended a $1M-per-person Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last month.

Everything is for sale.
