Headlines keep calling Mike Johnson a "Lesser-known extremist" ...

But he's only lesser known because mainstream news outlets do such a shit job of covering the mediocre nitwits and charlatans who putter around in Congress.

At some point prosecutors are gonna quit giving away immunity, right?

I honestly don't remember who Jenna Ellis is, so she's no biggie, but I was really looking forward to Mark Meadows going to prison. Isn't it about time they started doing plea deals for reduced time, instead of a full-on immunity? These Trump lawyers are getting away with murder.

I'm really frustrated cause I just spent the last 3 minutes confusedly & futilely trying to google info on...

the new Speaker of the House, Mike Jones.

I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out... Speaker

...George Santos

You're thinking that's crazy, but tell me they haven't done worse

Ken Chesebro was a long time Democratic lawyer, worked w/Lawrence Tribe

He was one of the lawyers on our side in Gore v Bush

Then, in 2014, he made millions of dollars in some Bitcoin maneuver. Then he started hanging out with right wing lawyers & donating to far right causes.

By 2020 he was fully immersed in the cult and started twisting some of Lawrence Tribe's GvB briefs to support illegal elector arguments. How did he fall so far?

My only working hypothesis is that having lots of money turns you into an elitist anti-working class asshole.

Personally I'm amazed that Bill Maher held out so long

On the matter of Jim Jordan, I can only quote the great Nelson Muntz

Congressman's Wife Receives Anonymous Texts Warning Husband to Vote For Jim Jordan

Source: Mediaite

The wife of Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) reportedly received anonymous text messages and emails warning her husband to back Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) House speakership campaign ahead of Tuesday’s vote.

“Jim’s been nice, one-on-one, but his broader team has been playing hardball,” said Bacon in an interview with Politico.

============

“Why is your husband causing chaos by not supporting Jim Jordan? I thought he was a team player,” read one text, to which Bacon’s wife responded, “Who is this???”

The anonymous sender then warned, “Your husband will not hold any political office ever again. What a disappoint [sic] and failure he is.”

How surprised are you that the party that didn't stand up to Trump's quasi-fascism

... is totally knuckling under to Jim Jordan's bullying tactics?

Pop me with you towel, Butch... mmm, may I have another?

Republicans are quislings, always have been. Cuz I love being dominated. They man-crush on Vladimir Putin, on Viktor Orbán, on Rodrigo Duterte, and especially on authoritarian mannequins like Sean Hannity & Rush Limbaugh.

Reminder: You stand BEHIND a lectern to speak. You stand ON a podium

There's a bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump

It's Trumpism

Once Trump is gone, the way he's twisted and perverted the minds of millions of Americans will continue. They'll just linger around, waiting for another con man to come along and sucker them into believing again that hatred is an adequate alternative to policy.

Also, there's the Project 2025 people. They're ready for the next Trumpist to come along and make the next power grab fatal to American democracy.
