I’m smug and snug as long as I’m in D.C., and not Louisiana

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is encouraging Republican lawmakers to skip town halls that have been filled with protesters decrying the Trump administration’s slashing of federal government, echoing the president’s claims that the demonstrations are fueled by professional protesters.

Professional protesters? Anybody happen to know the pay scale for professional protesters? This is the repesentation we currently have in Washington: a self-serving pontificator who, in eight years in office, refuses to face voters at home and a House Speaker who echos the false claim of “professional protesters” simply because the puppetmaster says it. It’s sad that this man is weak and is unable or unwilling to speak for himself but meekly adheres to the Trump line. Likewise interesting to know that he, too, is terrified of coming home to face voters adversely affected by the Musk/Trump/Putin actions.
