    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…

    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.

      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.

    Trump needs ‘space’ for a specific purpose: avoiding the consequences of his crimes. Republicans are always ready to give him that space.

      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.

    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.

        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.
