As some of you know, I lost my dear lesbian sister to suicide. She spent almost her entire too short life in the South, and it was ignorant righteous bigots like Mr. Johnson up there who drove her past the brink.

These people are my sworn enemies. And so are the people who prop them up.

Mike Johnson makes me want to vomit. As Charlie Pierce points out in his latest posts over at Esquire, not a single republican dared not to vote for him, which confirms for Pierce, at least, that the republican party is the party of treachery and sedition. They cannot be trusted. They are gunning (haha) for a rematch on the 2020 election, and they fully intend to cheat their way to a theocratic state. 2024 is not the end, but it might be the beginning of the end. Which end? I'm sorry to say that it's up to all of us to determine that, and too many of our fellow citizens are either ill-informed, misinformed, lazy, dumb, or fucked in the head. Sometimes it feels like our institutions cannot keep up with the pace of the evil being perpetrated in our very midst.

Closer in time, there's the oncoming train of government shutdown, and all the shenanigans the sedition party can pull to put the blame on the democrats, even if they carve out chunks from another CR and the budget for 2024 and slow roll the agony. We are going to need all hands on deck over the next 13 months.

It is utterly galling to me that seditious freaks like Mike Johnson are walking around unindicted and helping that treason weasel, the Manchurian Cantaloupe, the most ridiculous clown of a champion for these religious nutjobs ever, even taking into consideration satire. There are days when I wonder if I'm going to see anything good to turn this ship of fools around before I sleep the sleep of the dead forever. The tiny hope I have is that this BS cannot hold. It is built on the foundation of lies, deceit, and hate. It has willing enablers and they can do plenty of damage. I only hope that this crazy contains the seeds of its own destruction, and we just need to push them into making it true.
