On the ballot this year in Ohio. I did not need to see DeWine and his goober wife on tv suggesting issue one will allow unfettered abortions until the moment of birth. This is the same DeWine the left was lauding for leaning into the lockdowns and mask mandates during covid.
It's wild that we spent 4 years worried about Vice President Gilead and now here's a real-life Commander as third in line. If the House wasn't already majority-R I would've called it a brilliant political play, get everyone hot and bothered with Jordan until the "meek nobody" was put forward as a "compromise".
I saw the new Speaker is the least experienced in 140 years. And I read that the type of Christian Fundamentalism that he believes in thinks "freedom" means "the freedom to follow God's orders". That isn't a joke. That's what the fuck it said. FUCK.
Oh yeah, he's a full on Christian Nationalist. Batshit crazy about Jesus. We live in interesting times. Lots of them on SCOTUS too.
I mean, there have been 6 people as Speakers before him, and Pelosi, Ryan and Gingrich were all Catholic. Hastert was fondling boys and Gingrich was sleeping with Congressional aides, with McCarthy being ousted by Gaetz, didn't like being investigated for having affairs and sex trafficking with a minor. So, will a Christian Fundamentalist do a worse job if he's just busy talking to Jesus?
He's a Christian Dominionist, big difference. Fundies just want to convert you, the Dominion wants to rule you. On that theocratic horseshoe spectrum, they're across the gap from ISIS Sharia.
That certainly doesn't sound good. But, I think I just meant, Pelosi didn't make me a Catholic, so I don't think Johnson will make me a Christian Domionist. I would be more concerned if there were 435 Christian Dominionists in the House.
The difference is that Pelosi, et al weren't trying to use the government to FORCE you into being a Catholic; whereas Johnson thinks that the government should literally enact laws based on the bible, irrespective of a little thing called the first amendment.
Better hope Air Force One doesn’t sputter out, or your country will be run be a legit raging psychopath. The kind that polishes guns because the voices tell him too, and who plays with his own poop
This is why no one's seen Harris in forever. She's just kept in a bunker somewhere drinking green smoothies and doing cardio.
She will be more visible as the campaign heats up and attacking a woman of color will do more damage. Right now, it'd barely register as news. Her record as a prosecutor doesn't bode well for the various Trump proceedings in TV ads, so they aren't putting her front and center just yet.
Since Biden uses the underneath stairs now, it'd be funny if he was coming out there and Harris came out the top stairs and started waving to everyone.
Mike Pence is officially suspending his campaign for President, making him the last to know he wasn't going to win.
