Don’t think it’s quite set in how much Johnson would open door on election denier attacks going forward. This is all from a 2020 interview Mike Johnson posted to his own account at the time (still up there, just listened to it). https://t.co/T1hZWxQcJt pic.twitter.com/5RqeqF30aL

If the GOP controls the House after the 2024 election, it was always going to refuse to certify a Biden reelection victory, no matter who the Speaker is. The only way to get Biden’s victory certified in 2025 is to elect a Democratic House.

Certification of the 2024 elections will be the House of Representatives first order of business. It’s imperative that we have a Democratic-controlled House.

The new Speaker of the House is in a “covenant marriage.”
This is a nifty innovation in Louisiana law — versions of it also exist in Arizona and Arkansas — that basically gets rid of no-fault divorce. If you’re in a covenant marriage, you can’t get divorced without proving to a tribunal’s satisfaction that your spouse has committed adultery, a felony (unclear if trying to overthrow the government counts), your spouse is a drug addict, and/or has physically abused you and/or your children, or you’ve lived apart for at least two years. (You may also be required by the court to go through marital counseling).
In other words, this converts marriage into the legal nightmare it was prior to women getting access to birth control and checking accounts, i.e., the horrible things that happened in the 1960s that the Mike Johnsons of the world consider the root of all evil even today.
Strikingly, less than one percent of the marriages in Louisiana have been covenant marriages in the 25 years since the law making them possible was passed. The good news is that, even in America in 2023, the supply of theocratic misogynist crazies may be fairly limited. The bad news is that these people now clearly control the Republican party, in tandem with Donald Trump, the High Priest of Marital Sanctity.
More evidence the GOP wants to turn the country into fucking Gilead.
They’ve learned all they need - extremists are in charge of the GOP and the caucus supports seditionists, obstructionists, and misogynistic anti-abortion extremists.

When a black man mainstreams Hitler and he leads in the polls to be the next Governor of North Carolina…
Governor hopeful quoted Hitler and downplayed the Holocaust in unearthed posts: Report
Lieutenant governor of North Carolina and a leading Republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, quoted Hitler and downplayed the Holocaust in an unearthed Facebook post, according to a new report.
Robinson has a long history of regurgitating antisemitic conspiracy theories and downplaying of the Holocaust, according to Jewish Insider. But at a press conference two weeks ago, he denied that he is antisemitic.
Robinson said his past social media posts had been dealt with and he had “moved past” them.
But he has been hit with new accusations that, in a Facebook post, he quoted Hitler and suggested the horror of the Holocaust wasn’t as bad as the abuses of communism. He also compared the removal of Confederate statues to anti-Jewish pogroms in 1930s Europe, the Jewish Insider reported.
“We often speak of the ‘appeasement’ of Hitler. But the biggest ‘appeasement’ of ALL TIME is how we turned a blind eye to the clear and present danger of MARXISM,” Robinson said in a post from 2019.
“It is EXTREMELY distressing that many well-meaning and intelligent people are so focused on long dead Hitler while the living political descendants of Stalin are currently fighting to destroy our REPUBLIC,” he wrote in a separate post days earlier.
Some GOP activists are worried that the discovery of more comments will hurt Robinson’s chances of winning the governor race.
“The lieutenant governor, whom polls show as the front-runner, is now facing five Republican primary challengers, including Bill Graham, a wealthy trial lawyer who announced his campaign last week, vowing to spend millions of his own money,” Jewish Insider reported. “The winner is expected to face off against a Jewish Democrat, Josh Stein, who is the state’s attorney general. Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is term-limited.”

For perspective, over 8 years Mike Johnson has raised half as much as Elissa Slotkin raised & spent in 2021-2022 to win re-election in MI-07. Over 6 years he’s raised $500K for his leadership PAC. 2022 Dems spent over $10m in PAC independent expenditures in Slotkin’s race alone.

I thought advanced education was supposed to make you be able to think critically about complex issues.
Feeling more than usually angry with the Republicans today. (Yeah, as bad as that.)
Remember when a Spanish court indicted Pinochet because there had been Spanish citizens among the numerous victims of his dictatorship?
On those grounds they could indict the entire leadership of the Republican Party since there were many Spaniards among the million plus victims of a Republican Covid policy that was willfully designed to maximize deaths among vulnerable segments of the population. Leading quacks and charlatans could also be included. That it backfired and killed off a shitload of gullible Repug pawns does not matter. Intent is what counts.
American courts would not extradite them, of course, but there may be a way around that. Just offer a juicy reward, say a million plus for quacks and media shills, up to 10 or 20 million for Trump himself and other major players. Being Republicans, the plague-rats’ relatives and associates would be knifing each other in the back for the chance to privately rendition (ie kidnap) them and bundle them off to Spain
It might only be necessary to get them across the border into Mexico, since the Mexican government would have no problem extraditing assholes who call their people rapists and killers, and who try to drown them in the Rio Grande.

The only thing I can think of is they are taking the complex situation in the Middle East and trying to simplify it and blaming everything on the Jews.
…or at least blaming Israel. TikTok is currently hardcore anti-Israel right now.
“…Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that he has been “ordained” by God.

I thought advanced education was supposed to make you be able to think critically about complex issues.
They haven’t made it that far.

Then he should be able to pass a simple test: Crucify the bastard and if he comes back in 3 days, we’ll admit we were wrong.

“…Louisiana is ranked last - again - in the U.S. News and World Report’s 2023 Best States report, which cites an atmosphere of surging violent crime, poisonous industrial pollution and a dwindling population among the state’s hardships.
It’s the latest in a series of studies listing Louisiana as the worst or among the worst states in key quality of life areas.
Last week a WalletHub study concluded Louisiana is the worst state in America for working mothers, showing moms here are shortchanged on everything from pay to childcare.
America’s Health Ratings from the United Health Foundation lists Louisiana as the worst state for women and children’s health.”

They just put a Republican governor in to end all that. /
“The percentage of people without health insurance in Louisiana is 11.2% compared to the national percentage of 12.2%. That’s thanks primarily to Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards opting into the Medicaid expansion, which Edwards said is his most consequential act in two terms as governor.“
About go back up. Waaaaaaay up.

That and Bibi seems to have known the attack was coming and allowed it. The Israeli’s fucked up bigtime when selecting their government, something I wish Americans could criticize them for without reminding ourselves of the madman that we made our leader for four years.

Long winters and alcohol
And terrible support for working mothers, making them shoot wolves from helicopters while nursing a baby.
re: #136 No Malarkey!
To be fair to me, I never paid much attention to Trump before he began running for President. I watched his game show a few times, but a game show host’s credibility isn’t at issue.
I’ve hated him ever since the mid-80’s, when he tried to destroy my neighborhood with his ghastly Trump City development on the Penn Central site.
