Something interesting to bear in mind about Johnson. The other day, Jamie Raskin tore James Comer a new anal portal in the Oversight Committee hearing. Clearly, he thinks Comer is the traitor Comer is. But he had said at one point that Johnson is a "sweet" person--I think he's considered likable. Well, did anyone on EITHER side find Krem…
Something interesting to bear in mind about Johnson. The other day, Jamie Raskin tore James Comer a new anal portal in the Oversight Committee hearing. Clearly, he thinks Comer is the traitor Comer is. But he had said at one point that Johnson is a "sweet" person--I think he's considered likable. Well, did anyone on EITHER side find Kremlin Kevin McCarthy, the Bakersfield Benedict Arnold without the courage and known supplier of the physical and fiscal desires of Lev Parnas, LIKABLE?
I'd thought that when he was seated, there was a lot of concern that he WASN'T much good at raising money. did something change? or am I just confused?
He got connected to all the Speaker donor lists. The far rightie doors probably love having a Young Earth Creationist election denier same sex marriage opponent to give money to.
in Little Mikie's case, it was easy to think he might be a nice guy because of his appearance, combining Clark Kent with a deer-in-headlights expression. I even suspended my reflex hatred of Republicans for about fifteen minutes, until I found out that he was a proud Young Earth Creationist.
and then there was that New Yorker profile. by the time he got to fulminating over the "obvious weaponization of the Justice Department" against The Fat Fuck, I was ready to start warming up the tar.
I piss on his eyes. yet the scumbag is gonna make it into the history books. I mean the big fat ones, in which no pebble is left unexamined because--let's face it--he's a pebble. a BIGOTED pebble as well. I toyed with comparing him to a Sea Urchin, but (having once stepped on a Sea Urchin during an acid trip on the godforsaken island of Hydra) I figured that'd be giving him too much credit. stepping on a Sea Urchin SUCKS. as does LSD-induced (or do I mean "inspired?") sunstroke. both are quite formidable (and has anyone noticed that now we're supposed to pronounce "formidable" the way I learned was incorrect, with the accent on the second syllable?), whereas Mike Johnson...not so much.
Rattlesnakes are actually good creatures. The rattle evolved (only once) as a way to provide a warning so that they wouldn't have to waste venom. Venom is expensive to produce. There is an African American folktale, How The Snake Got His Rattle, which is in a book, Black Folktales, by Julius Lester. The interesting thing is this particular folktale shows an understanding of why the rattle evolved, although in the book, the snake gets his venom first, through the intervention of God, in an effort to prevent the other animals from stepping on the snake all the time. But then, the snake is killing the other animals all over the place, and one of them goes up to God, who's sitting in his rocking chair with his cigar, which Mrs. God hates, and explains the situation, and how bad it is. At this point, God comes up with the rattle, and the problems cease.
A wonderful book devoted to rattlesnakes, with no deus ex machina intervention, or anything close: Landscape with Reptile: Rattlesnakes in an Urban World, by Thomas Palmer. Beautifully written series of essays on different aspects of rattlesnakes.
In fact, it creates a wonderful possibility: Democrats get Johnson to go forward by promising to save him, then don't, and say, we never said we'd do that, and it's our word against his. It makes him look even dumber.
Because when they go low, we never get a rusty knife that hasn't been sharpened lately and cut off their testicles without using any anesthetic. Which is what we should be doing.

If you like diamondback rattlesnakes, you'll like My Kevin.
I think his only redeeming feature was his ability to raise bribe funds, erm, I meant "donations".

He is the one I blame the most for resurrecting the devil
not so sure about the Devil, but he's sure responsible for a lot of dead bodies.
He has tried hard to be the worst of the worst

Lots of toadies might be considered likable, but never by me.

Now you KNOW that wont happen? This is the DEMOCRATS you are talking about. We just dont do bad stuff like that!
Precisely the problem!
Hardball desperately needed
Yup! Just think about the nasty things that would be said if they did that.
Same nasty things they say anyway. Some will say to each other, damn, they are doing what we do…
Right - but did you ever notice how SHOCKING it is for REpubs when any Dem actually does hit them where it hurts?
I'm trying to remember a time...
Smarty!!!
alas!
Dems will NEVER
Because when they go low, we never get a rusty knife that hasn't been sharpened lately and cut off their testicles without using any anesthetic. Which is what we should be doing.
I LIKE it...
I agree. But that fact may matter, unfortunately.
