Softening the blow
of having to return to this place
I no longer call home.

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take deep breath and I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

The fuck's goin' on?!?

Every day we hear how Mike Johnson doesn't know anything about anything. He's the least informed Speaker of the house EVER.

Q: A judge in Florida issued a restraining order against Cory Mills for threatening and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Do you think this is an ethical violation?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have not heard or looked into the details of that. I've been a little busy.

How is the Speaker of the House so ill-informed? It's got to be on purpose. Does he watch the news? Do his aides tell him anything? I'm not buying this package of bullcrap.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.

Max Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 5d

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
