"God, said Johnson, told him that “we’re coming to a Red Sea moment” and that Johnson needed to be prepared — to be Moses! Throughout the speakership battle, “the Lord kept telling me to wait,” Johnson recounted. “And it came to the end, and the Lord said, ‘Now, step forward.’” Johnson told them that “only God saw the path through the roiling sea.”"
What a frighteningly arrogant nutjob this piece of shit #MikeJohnson is.
“I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here,” Johnson teased the group, unaware that his hosts were streaming video of the event. Johnson informed his audience that God “had been speaking to me” about becoming speaker, communicating “very specifically,” in fact, waking him at night and giving him “plans and procedures.”"
"Today, Johnson’s run looks anything but heaven-sent. In the first 18 months of this Congress, only 70 laws were enacted. Calculations by political scientist Tobin Grant, who tracks congressional output over time, put this Congress on course to be the do-nothingest since 1859-1861 — when the Union was dissolving. But Johnson’s House isn’t merely unproductive; it is positively lunatic."
Anybody still supportive of Trump at this point can eat a dick - this includes friends and family, motherfuckers. NONE of you get a speck of my respect anymore. You're Nazi slime if you support the rancid malignancy masquerading as human. #FuckEveryRepublican
There's waaaaay many more of US than there are of you, #JDVance. The #WarOnWomen continues unabated by the #RepublicanNaziParty, yet even #CrybabyTrump knows leaning into #abortion will lose him the election. But that won't matter, since they've already signaled they won't *accept* losing in November...
Quickest way to win favor with the scumbag: stroke his ego.
Digby: "Vance on the ticket is going to supercharge the abortion rights movement which is already highly organized. I thought Trump was smarter than this. But I suspect he was so thrilled with Vance’s tweet blaming Biden for the shooting on Saturday that it tipped the balance."
