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.

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.

I’d say the lack of a conscience is the real hindrance. If more people cared about the consequences of their actions, we’d be in a better place. It’s just a shame so many psychopaths are able to flourish.
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.
Those children needed space too.
"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
The space Trump actually needs is a 3x4m prison cell.
Make that feet and we have a deal.
Trump needs ‘space’ for a specific purpose: avoiding the consequences of his crimes. Republicans are always ready to give him that space.
Awww does the felonious pedophile need space???
You can’t distance yourself without space.

I am happy to give him space... in a maximum security prison cell, all alone until the very end.
8 cubic metres should do
0.8 m^3
Haha you almost tricked me into googling « volume of an average coffin in m^3 » on my work computer

Last week: "We need to release the files."
This week: "Dear leader said no. I never implied anything different."
Oh, good. For a moment there it almost seemed like Johnson had a spine.
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).

"Listen bucko, this is Congress, specifically a Republican Congress. We serve two people here, the president and the ownership class. Notice how I didn't mention voters? They can go fuck themselves. Didn't we make that obvious with the Big Disgusting Bill?"
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.
Presidents don't "get space".
Trump needs a kick to the balls, that's what he needs. And then another one, until everyone on earth had the opportunity.
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.

Yes, I agree, Mike. Airlock, it is.
Mike Johnson made me loathe christianity. He's a smarmy little cunt germ.
Actually, Michael, what he needs is to be fully outed as one of the pedos his base so vehemently abhors.
There are a couple Republican threads hyper focused on some “Obama written” Russian files thing. And how Hillary’s emails have only “scratched the surface”.
No idea. Except it sounds like they’re grasping at straws of distraction. Even so, the Repub people are eating it up.
Space to rape more children.
"They haven't deleted and scrubbed Trump's name off the documents yet , so we need more time."

He should take a one way ride up in a Starliner. Plenty of space for him in there.

I agree with Johnson. Let's eject our rapist-felon president into space.
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.
Luckily Johnson has a huge gaping space for Trump to release into.
Aww poor baby is stressed because everyone knows he fucked a child.
Looks like someone had a conversation with Mikey.
Fuck you Johnson.
Awww, the National pedophile needs space
