‘Like #WinningtheLottery’: #MikeJohnson’s #Ascent #Excites #ConservativeChristians.

The new #speakeroftheHouse is a #SouthernBaptist #Extremist who #embodies #evangelical #beliefs and #priorities, with a long #history of #work against #abortion and #gayrights.

Mike Johnson, the new speaker of the house, is just another in a line of followers direct from the Project 2025 playbook.

For those unfamiliar, Project 2025 is a conservative manifesto designed to consolidate direct Presidential control of all assets in the Executive branch of the US government, using Unitary Executive theory. This "logic" is based on the vesting clause of Article 2 of the US Constitution. It will eliminate all checks and balances on the office of the president.

This playbook includes replacing all personnel with pro-Trump supporters, banning gender-affirming care and language (even the term gender affirming), gay marriage, abortions, and anything not white, Christian, or conservative.

It would turn the US into a Christian theocracy. A place where AFAB women are breeding stock, and homosexuality becomes a criminal offense again. It would turn the office of the President into a dictatorship.

Johnson has voted against Gay Marriage, against certifying the 2020 election, and is a threat to what's left of this so-called country. His election as speaker of the house is a direct attack on freedom.

We can no longer bury our heads in the sand. We can no longer stand idly by and watch as fascism returns to power. This looks more like the Weimar Republic in 1923 than the United States in 2023.

For any who doubts that this playbook exists, or views this as some Right Wing conspiracy, I invite you to read this document for yourself. This is real. This is a threat. This is not a test.

I will never, for the life of me, understand how Jim Jordan is still a politician while it is known he looked the other way on a rapist.

Mindboggling.

#KevinMcCarthy losing the #SpeakerofTheHouse job today was part of the deal #WGAEast negotiated for #SethMeyers & #StephenColbert.

Just remember, the jokes DON'T write themselves #WGAStrong.

I'm looking forward to what
Mike Scollins, Alex Baze and Sal Gentile write for Seth Meyers tonight!

Kevin McCarthy losing the speakership was timed for the end of the writers strike and the return of the Late Night comedy shows.

People are comparing Kevin McCarthy to the puppet Charlie McCarthy. I think that #kevinmcarthy is more like Mortimer Snerd. He also was a Edgar Bergen puppet. Unlike Charlie McCarthy, who talked and dressed as an aristocrat, Mortimer was an ignorant hick.

Photo for comparison.

WaPo - To save himself, McCarthy just destroyed the House - the party is no longer a party and his "leadership" role has been completely negated. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/06/mccarthy-house-speaker-vote-insurrection-by-other-means/ #HouseofRepresentatives #SpeakeroftheHouse #RepublicanCongress #RepublicanParty

Can Kevin McCarthy outlast a head of lettuce?

He's very good at #negotiating between groups that really resent or despise one another. Though he's pretty old now. #ReallyReallyOld. And "#TooSmall" LOL.

Such a beautiful painting of outgoing Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, by Ronald Sherr.

I don't know who took this photo.
