Republicans are too busy with culture wars, repeating the BigLie about election 2020, vying for followers on line and pursuing face time on FoxFakeNews, chasing after the latest fact-free conspiracy theories pushed by the right wing nut-jobs, conducting hearings based on wild accusations against the Justice Department, FBI, Hunter Biden and acting on the whims of their Criminal-In-Chief Trump.  

Don’t forget the “Impeachment Inquiry” against President Biden (without a shred of evidence of any wrong doing) which the Republicans are conducting to appease their corrupt, psycho leader LyinKing Trump.  

And last but not least the circus freak-show from the laughing stock of the 2020′s, the Republicans in the House of Representatives who are trying to elect another House Speaker.  Not only do the Republicans support the Worst President in American History, they can add to that the Worst Republican House of Representatives in American History.

Who is Rep. Mike Johnson, the new House speaker?

ep. Mike Johnson, the new speaker of the House, has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump and was a key congressional figure in the failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The Louisiana Republican was first elected to the House in 2016 and serves as vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, as well as GOP deputy whip, an assistant leadership role. An attorney with a focus on constitutional law, Johnson joined a group of House Republicans in voting to sustain the objection to electoral votes on January 6, 2021. During Trump’s first impeachment trial in January 2020, Johnson, along with a group of other GOP lawmakers, served a largely ceremonial role in Trump’s Senate impeachment team.

Johnson also sent an email from a personal email account in 2020 to every House Republican soliciting signatures for an amicus brief in the longshot Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate electoral college votes from multiple states.

After the election was called in favor of Joe Biden on November 7, 2020, Johnson posted on X, then known as Twitter, “I have just called President Trump to say this: ‘Stay strong and keep fighting, sir! The nation is depending upon your resolve. We must exhaust every available legal remedy to restore Americans’ trust in the fairness of our election system.’”

Eye on 2025: Can the U.S. Avoid Another Jan. 6?

With the 2024 election campaign heating up, nerves are frazzling on Capitol Hill. Democrats worry about history repeating in 2025 if Kamala Harris wins but Republican Mike Johnson remains Speaker. Concerns range from blocking electoral vote counts to rewriting procedures, raising questions about election integrity. What safeguards should be in place to ensure a fair certification process? Can bipartisan cooperation prevail in such a polarized environment? Share your thoughts!

Like fr, whether he wins or loses at this point (vote number 11), it’s embarrassing. If he wins, it’s only bc 20 people said “ugh, FINE.”

Kevin McCarthy losing four five six consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023's boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that's beautiful

As per the latest Survey of the Pulse Asia Organization, the Net Approval Rating (NAR) of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) has now been reduced to just +35% while that of Vice President Sara Duterte remains relatively high at 55%. House Speaker Martin Romualdez meanwhile only has an NAR of +4% as of now.

Jim Jordan is a boob. His IQ is maybe 80. He blindly follows a convicted rapist no matter how it reflects on himself. He has never introduced a single bill in congress and now you freaks want him to run the house. You are ruining the united states of America. You are doing things that have never been done in our history because you don’t know the difference. Thomas Jefferson, Adams and Madison wouldn’t let you carry their papers to the capital because of your spastic and hillbilly nature. They would be embarrassed to be seen with you. I don’t know how this happened. But know this, if this gets any worse, there will be a revolt against you retards. Worse than the revolts currently churning the stomachs of civilized men. Good day and fuck off.

Republicans are having difficulties finding a new House Speaker who wasn't an insurrectionist that voted against certification of results of the 2020 election.

Gym Jordan and others whose subservience to their criminal leader Trump - by promoting his Big Lie and refusing to certify the 2020 election results - are finding it's come back to bite them in the ass.

Good! They deserve that and much more. Lock them up!

‘What could go wrong?’

Good to see Robbie Conal back on the streets and taking on ghouls like Kevin McCarthy.

We talked the circus that was the Gaetz/McCarthy show, the magnificence that was Jeffries’s speech, and the rote read mess that was McCarthy’s. Throwing off on  Biden the first day in session, what the hell is in that Rules Bill that narrowly passed… COVID craziness in China… finales on 1923, Yellowstone, George and Tammy… The Menu, Hereditary, what you got?

Nice News and Well, Not so Nice News

Meet the new member of my household before getting into the heavy stuff on the #blog today.

This morning I saw a news report on a shooting at a school in Richmond, VA. I’d been offline most of Saturday and Sunday alternating between writing and caring for a new kitty and playing with a jigsaw puzzle. More about the news item a bit later in the blog post, but first, here’s Max a stray kitty that chose Dusty as his new best friend. People who know a lot about cats often say that a cat…
