Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why?

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴
