Our new Speaker

October 26, 2023October 25, 2023 ~ susie

I might be wrong, but to me, Johnson appears to be a classic Republican closet case. Anyone who spends so much time worrying about what other people do in the bedroom usually have secrets of their own:

Speaker #AbortionBanMike barely had the gavel in hand before he was blathering away about Scripture and the BIBLE in full unConstitutional Christofascist glory. https://t.co/9VQZVsDKFu

He’s already signifying his theocratic fascism. Do not be hoodwinked by his soft spoken gee whiz aw shucks ness. He’s a toxic fanatic who worked tirelessly to overthrow a 247-year-old democracy. In court. On the floor 1/7/21.

He’s a pro Trump religious zealot with an agenda.

This is what he needs to say, but I’m on the other side of this. I absolutely think Republicans will try to sabotage the election and/or transfer of power again. And I firmly believe the next election is going to decide the fate of democracy in this country. https://t.co/PG1RWOxENb

Extremist cops. I know, it seems redundant.

As long as they can get the media to repeat it, it will work into voters’ brains and that’s the entire point:

Trump's former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper condemns the corrupt former president for threatening to execute General Mark Milley:

"That statement by the president is horrible. It’s intolerable. It should be condemned by everybody…We owe General Milley and his predecessors a… pic.twitter.com/u4HxeCeBmE

I’ve never seen this happen before

But some less-crazy Republicans are out pushing hard in the media to stop a GOP shutdown. Some people are determined not to lose their majority if they can help it:

Mike Lawler, Republican from NY, on hard-right and demands over spending.

“This is not conservative Republicanism. This is stupidity. … These people can't define a win. They don’t know how to take yes for an answer. It is a clown show.”

Biden-district Rep. Don Bacon says he’s amenable to the conservative proposal to set topline spending in the CR at 2022 levels: “It would go to the Senate. We’d get a compromise back … so it wouldn’t be the final number when all is said and done.”

I read Chris Rufo’s book and spent an hour on the phone with him talking about it. I learned a lot about his dubious methods – and the illiberal project increasingly at the heart of the modern right https://t.co/TvL1V0A7is

So billionaire Harlan Crow was bribing the Supreme Court when Citizens United went through – and The Federalist Society helped and they ALL tried to overthrow the government in 2021?
