Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Actually, Michael, what he needs is to be fully outed as one of the pedos his base so vehemently abhors.
If by space you mean being thrown into a black hole then yeah. But seriously trumps a child fucker and the GOP is trying to hide it.
The more he runs away from this the more likely that nobody will believe whatever explanation he lands on to dismiss it. Even if there really isn't a list, and he really isn't on it, and they present some evidence that proves it conclusively, there's zero shot anyone will believe it.
The conspiracy vibes are so strong that even reality couldn't kill them.
Space to rape more children.
Presidents don't "get space".
he needs ~~space~~ to be spaced
Mike Johnson made me loathe christianity. He's a smarmy little cunt germ.
"So-called Christian helps to cover up a giant pedophile ring"
Isn’t that a fairly normal thing for Christians?
So normal we already know the justification: for the glory of God 🙄
Story as old as religion itself
Last week: "We need to release the files."
This week: "Dear leader said no. I never implied anything different."
Plenty of “space” on golf course.
Do your job. Oh wait. You are. Protecting yer guy.
I think he didn't realize how many of his donors don't want the list released. I bet there's a good number of billionaires on the list.
Protecting himself. Trump is not the only one involved.
He's the president. He doesn't get space. Ever.
That's literally the job of the president. It's not luxury. It's work.
But this jackass in the oval office has never worked a day in his entire fucking life and doesn't understand that concept.
Even if he does get space: it's not the job of the speaker of the fucking house to give him space from investigations. The house is supposed to investigate!
If you add up all the work he’s done throughout his whole life, it might add up to about a day.
The space Trump actually needs is a 3x4m prison cell.
Damn you're generous
As long as it has proper bars on the window, a solid door, prison food, and no wifi I'm generous.
Make that feet and we have a deal.
Is he dating the Epstein files? The fucking president of the country doesn't get the luxury of space, he is beholden to the office to answer to the people. What a joke of a country.
Politicians are public property. Property doesn't get fucking 'space'.
Johnson just let the world know that he sides with child rapists. May the next Saint Crooks have better aim, and start with Johnson
The guy who shares his porn-browsing history with his adopted son and takes his young teen daughter to purity balls is protecting a kiddie creeper?
Sounds about right...
Oh, good. For a moment there it almost seemed like Johnson had a spine.
He was willing until his donors told him it would be bad for them as well.
Never trust anything they say, it was pure posturing. Judge them for their actions, or lack of them. So when one of those inbred sycophants says they are going against Trump, don't believe them until they actually do (which will be never).

It must be so hard suffering the mildest of consequences of your own actions.
your own horrific actions
Here I am, regularly feeling guilty about whether maybe I accidentally insulted someone with my autism, while people like these lie openly, constantly and with impunity. A conscience really is a goddamn hindrance in this world rather than a net positive.

Sort of. People without a conscience and without the power, privilege and/or social tools to abuse that often also end up pretty badly. Like how narcissism can lead both to (unwanted) social isolation, or even prison time, and then also sometimes to a successful business/political career or creating your own adoring cult, depending on other factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the person.

Just so we're clear, he's completely within his rights — per the landmark 1849 case Cowboys v. Indians, which famously established the "time-outs and tag-backs" precedent.
Given the stupidty of Republicans, they'd actually believe you
Us vs. them is a powerful tool to wield against you. Your neighbors are neither beneath you nor immovable, and nobody should stretch beyond your compassion. We live among the ghosts of ourselves, and some of those parts are bleeding and tangled in wire. It takes precision, patience, and gentleness to free those parts without nipping the skin.
Dig into that feeling that made you deflect
"They haven't deleted and scrubbed Trump's name off the documents yet , so we need more time."
Trump wants the story to die more. “Space” meaning more time and he needs more time to work on his base. He will repeat over and over that the files aren’t real and that they are a Democrat hoax and each time he does another MAGA will turn around and bend over for him until they are all docile again. Trump doesn’t care what the left see or believe anyway.
Trump needs ‘space’ for a specific purpose: avoiding the consequences of his crimes. Republicans are always ready to give him that space.
FFS
Those children needed space too.
Aww poor baby is stressed because everyone knows he fucked a child.
I agree with Johnson. Let's eject our rapist-felon president into space.
I am happy to give him space... in a maximum security prison cell, all alone until the very end.
