        They want to be threatened and bossed around. That’s why they’re authoritarian enablers. Often it traces back to abusive parents. They’re trying to impose the hell of their childhoods on those of us who didn’t have such fucked-up experiences, because those are the only conditions where they feel like they know how to respond.

      That’s by design. Remember what a revolving door his first administration was? He learned from that and surrounded himself with spineless sycophants this time around.

    Is this … about the “pee tape”? An attempt to make it look like a nothingburger? To innoculate the public against the outcry that would happen if it was released? “Look, you all laughed at it when I shit from a fighter, this pee thing is boring next to that”.

    “The president uses social media to make a point,” Johnson told reporters Monday. “He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole.”

    – Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.
