Kevin McCarthy Ascends to Power Via Begging, Humiliation, Threats, and Concessions to MAGAs


Well, it took a full 15 rounds of voting, as well as some very serious behind-the-scenes deal-making with the Republican Party’s hard-core MAGA, Christian Nationalist, and insurrectionist election deniers, but Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) finally came up with enough votes from that angry, bickering mob posing as a political party, to elevate himself to that cherished position of power he has so desperately desired for oh so many years, Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Luckily for him, all Kevin McCarthy had to do to secure the Speakership, was simply agree to allow the House GOP to go full QAnon on the country.  He’ll now have the privilege of presiding over a nest of half-witted, venomous pit vipers, exhibiting varying degrees of sanity.  That said, if he thinks he’s given them all they will ever want, he’s greatly mistaken.  That’s because these are the kind of folks whose mantra is simply, “all I ever wanted from life, is more!

Frankly, as a veteran, citizen, and US taxpayer, I'm simply overjoyed this sideshow is finally over - so we can now move on to the next outrageous event in this “theater of horrors. “ That, of course, would be none other than the commencing of the American rendition of the “Stalinist Show Trials.”  In fact, as one of their first orders of business, expect a fierce debate as to whether it should be Hunter Biden, or Hillary Clinton - who will get to assume the coveted role of “Leon Trotsky.”

Of course, when I think about McCarthy actually “fighting for the right” to manage a chamber full of lethal Komodo dragons, my first thought is this really sounds like a classic case of “be careful what you wish for!”  But then I remember, folks like McCarthy and his Republican MAGA monster pals - actually feed off chaos.  And, as they’ve just so adeptly demonstrated - they also seem to really enjoy “eating their own.  Well, all I can really say to that is - “Bon Appétit!”

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...

Elon Musk Calls for the Prosecution of Anthony Fauci

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic.   Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what?  Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker.   Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.”  OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway?   I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
