This jackass, former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, is running for Congress. Naturally, House Speaker Mike Johnson was there this week to campaign for him, calling him "overqualified." Watch the video. He's highly qualified to be a Republican, that's for sure. Maine's Second District, you know what to do.

But of course! Xi and Putin are honorable men. Just. Like. Trump. BTW, no media outlet - none - referred to the Islamic Republic of Iran as "wonderful," as this post implies. It's surprising Trump hasn't in the past, however, given how he salivates over authoritarians.
