Republicans are losing, and they know it
they’ve MAGA’d themselves into a corner
hey, you want to hear what a frightened little man sounds like?
“we’re so angry about it. I mean, I, I— you know, I’m a very patient guy, but I have had it with these people. they’re playing games with real people’s lives. the theory we have right now, they— they have a hate America rally that’s scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. it’s the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the uh, antifa people, they’re all coming out. some of the House Democrats are selling t-shirts for the event. and it’s, it’s, it’s being in, uh, told to us that they won’t be able to reopen the government until after that rally, because they can’t face their rabid base. I mean, this it, this is serious business, hurting real people, and uh, I’m just, I’m, I’m beyond words. I can’t believe they’re actually doing this.”
oh, do please fuck all the way off, you suppurating pustule.
what Holy Mike Johnson is so knicker-twisted about is the upcoming No Kings Day, on October 18th. it’s a follow-up to June 14th’s No Kings Day, where over five million people held thousands of peaceful demonstrations across our nation.
Holy Mike hates the idea of Americans exercising their First Amendment right to assemble in protest of the fascism that’s being inflicted on us by a 34-count convicted felon, so he’s got to lie his weaselly little face off.
no, it’s not the ‘pro-Hamas wing,’ nor is it the doings of any imaginary ‘antifa’ that’s behind No Kings Day. it’s people like you, and me — and our friend here, the Poet Laureate of the previous No Kings Day.
free clue for Mike Johnson: this is not a ‘hate America’ rally. we don’t hate America, you asshole. if we did, we’d be cheering Donny Convict’s fascist fuckery — because that shit is tearing America apart, and destroying it faster than our adversaries could have ever hoped.
listen to Uncle Bernie.
“no, Speaker Johnson. the No Kings rally on October 18th is not a hate America rally. in fact, it’s quite the contrary. it’s a love America rally. it’s a rally of millions of people all over this country who believe in our Constitution, who believe in American freedom, and are not going to let you and Donald Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society. it’s a group of people who are disgusted that you and your friends want to double healthcare premiums in this country, and take healthcare away from 15 million Americans. the right to protest is what America is about. you are not going to stop us.”
did you catch Holy Mike’s other lie, up in that clip?
“it’s being in, uh, told to us that they won’t be able to reopen the government until after that rally.”
fact check: piss up every rope.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Friday that he won’t call House lawmakers back to Washington until the government shutdown ends.
it’s Republicans — who control all three branches of government — keeping the government shuttered. and it’s Mike Johnson who has given the House an open-ended vacation, so that he can avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva, whose 218th vote on the Massie discharge petition will finally break the coverup of the Epstein Files.
Holy Mike has to lie about his motives, and pretend it’s some absurdly fictitious ‘pro-Hamas wing’ of the Democratic Party that’s keeping the government closed, because he’s losing. he’s on the wrong side, and he knows it.
none of the shitfuckery currently being inflicted on the American people by Republicans is popular — and they’ve completely screwed the pooch on the shutdown.
Republicans are on the defensive as Democrats have successfully made the shutdown fight about health care.
Most Republicans said they don’t want to see insurance premiums spike, but neither are they willing to openly support the extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits Democrats are asking for.
While the GOP has remained united in refusing to even entertain the idea of an extension in the context of ending the shutdown, Republicans don’t appear to have an alternate plan for what happens next.
of course Republicans don’t have a plan. not one of these fuckwits has the slightest clue how to govern. they’re all ass-clowns and charlatans who came to Washington to glom personal power and fatten their wallets.
voters across the country are being notified by their insurers that their healthcare premiums are set to double or triple, and they are — quite correctly — holding the GOP responsible.
Republicans did this to themselves when they abdicated their Constitutionally-ordained role as a check on the presidency. they let a fluorescent tangerine Mad King run wild, never once blocking any of his fuckbrained schemes. whatever Donny wanted — no matter how obviously ruinous — was fine with them. incoherent tariffs? go for it, Dear Leader. unconstitutional executive orders? you do you, bro. fire all the experts and replace them with morons? sounds good to us. prosecute political enemies? knock yourself out. kick millions of people off their healthcare so that gazillionaires can have another tax cut? what could possibly go wrong?
all this fascism is toxic as fuck. it’s radioactive.
by kowtowing to the whims of a fascist diaper-baby, Republicans have MAGA’d themselves into a corner.
hardly anyone voted for this shit. apart from the brain-dead cultists, nobody voted for polio. nobody voted for planes falling out of the sky. nobody voted for a preening fuckwit declaring war on his own people. nobody voted for armed troops in the streets. nobody voted for naked children being zip-tied and carted away to who knows where. nobody voted for priests being shot in the head by ICE thugs.
nobody voted for journalists to be violently thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
nobody voted for Qatar to have its own air force base inside America, in return for having given Dear Leader a vulgar flying bordello. what kind of treasonous quid-pro-quo fuckery is this? if Joe Biden had tried to pull that shit, Republicans would have impeached him before the ink was dry on the agreement.
and for fuck’s sake, Department of Homeland Security, could you read the room? because I guarantee that nobody voted for this fuckery.
lovely, in just ten months, Homeland Security has gone from bragging about rounding up the worst of the worst to bragging about rounding up anyone and everyone.
how does the DHS think bragging about zip-tying Americans is going to play in their beloved middle America?
Donny’s government has completely lost the thread. they’re high on their own supply — and they’ve become blind to the fact that ‘we’re coming for you’ is a losing message.
we should probably check in with Sundowning President Pudding Cup. apparently, there’s something he needs to whine about.
“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”
oh, great. America’s demento-in-chief is up after midnight again, rehashing all of his imaginary grievances — and this deteriorating imbecile can no longer remember that he was president on January 6, 2021 — not Sleepy Brandon.
over to you, Jesse Duquette.
folks, click here and find yourself a No Kings demonstration near you. then, on October 18, exercise your First Amendment right to peaceably assemble, while we still have a First Amendment.
make Holy Mike Johnson cry.
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.

“Make Holy Mike Johnson cry” — the message for the moment.
“You suppurating pustule” — and just like that, my day is made. Thank you.
