So the Dems could not do anything.  Nothing at all.  Absolutely powerless.

Maybe he’s a follower of Marcionism and believes that the Heavenly Father God who sends Jesus is not the Hebrew god or Demiurge that created the universe, and that maybe also the human form of Jesus was a divine illusion.

 

Not for nothing, the Christianity that emerges at the end of the 5th Century is radically evolved and consolidated from the wild diversity of belief that existed at the beginning of the 3rd. IOW- what tf are they talking about?

Look, man.....we just want the old-timey white man's jesus who wanted womenfolk to stay in their place, the coloreds to be in their proper secondary place in the world below the god-ordained white man, etc.  So, don't go trying to get tricky with all your years and dates and such -- we know what we mean....and you damned well do too.

democrats should have struck a deal with that Emmer guy. Should have found enough D's to get him elected. He didn't vote to overturn the election. He voted for the recent spending stop gap. He probably would have supported aid for Ukraine, and at least tried to get a spending bill through before the deadline. He might have agreed to end the bullshit impeachment inquiry.
Instead we get this douchbag shit sandwich.
Hello shutdown. Hello nothing getting passed in the house that has any chance to make it through the senate.
 
edit to add the bonus: DOtaRd would have gone apeshit, and it would have been a huge fuck you to the MAGA block.

Mike Johnson has preemptively agreed to a plea bargain with prosecutors for the inevitable crimes he will be committing on behalf of unnamed co-conspirator #1. 

[Js1 85,316]

Chip Roy makes it sound like whatever CR Johnson wants (1/15 or 4/15), they will give him.  

They really shanked McCarthy just to give Johnson a longer short-term spending leash.  McCarthy got axed for a 37 day CR or whatever it was.

I don't know why people thing that Emmer would have been an effective speaker given this insane caucus.  And I don't know why people thing that this East-East Texas Christo-fascist is going to get anything done either.  The dems did exactly what they should have done.  And now they can hold the fact that those in Biden districts that supported Emmer are now on record supporting this d-bag.

"We'll be talking about the support and what's necessary to get it. We have to ensure that Vladimir Putin is not successful and I think all the House Republicans are united in that cause," he told reporters, despite opposition from many Republicans to more aid for Ukraine." Mike Johnson, October 25, 2023.

(Translation: "the majority of my caucus supports aid to Ukraine and I want to keep my job.")

As long as MAGA is labeled as "far right crazies," then they will be misunderstood and continue to gain power. 

The long-term goal since the Reagan-Falwell merger has always been a Fascist Theocracy. Always!

And implementing that requires controlling levers of power, which enables passing regressive laws, overturning elections, and backing it with violence. There is no "disarray." The long-term plan is moving forward. 

This country is in deep trouble and 40 years of conservatives, Christians, naive Democrats, and willfully blind media have enabled it.

What the Dems did here by staying out of the fray was probably the strongest move they've made in the legislative branch in the last 40 something years.  Now that it's over and the Christo-fascist won, they can come out swinging.  The GQP makes its own Democratic campaign ads, including MIke Johnson's speech today.  Dems need to continue to just let the GQP speak for itself and provide the amplifier to the uninformed/apathetic voter.  Michelle Obama can sit this one out.

WATCH: Did you know that the new Speaker of the House “MAGA Mike (lol)” is an advocate of Critical Race Theory (CRT)?

In this video on PBS news, he says he thinks black people have a harder time than white people in America because being white gives you an advantage, which is why we should feel bad for black people. That’s basically what he said in this clip.

This is the same rhetoric used by Progressive Democrats. It’s toxic, and it’s not true. In America, your success is determined by your hard work, not the color of your skin. I’m not a fan of @RepMikeJohnson

There’s a reason why all of the RINOS happily voted for him today. He’s a snake. And I’m sounding the alarm.

While an overused cliche, "15 minutes of fame" is actually quite accurate here given how many speaker candidates were famous for literally 15 minutes over the last three weeks.  Having seen how much more airtime you get and how much fundraising can be done around the internal race, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this happens 1 or 2 more times before the end of this Congress in January 2025.  

The reason I thought Emmer had it in the bag was he's a great fundraiser who a lot of people owed a debt of gratitude to him for.  Johnson may have some MAGA chops but he's not a barnstormer money guy.  He'll have to become one I suppose, but that's hard to do when you've got to keep your thumb on so many members and committees from physically inside the Capitol for the next 12-14 months.  With such a narrow margin and a high probability of losing the House overall next cycle, dude's got his handful and doesn't exactly have the right skillset like a McCarthy or Emmer did.  

At least we know, SNL can have Beck Bennett back for a cameo this season.  I honestly thought that's who Johnson was the first time I saw him, but more demure.
