Johnson’s election to position of Speaker is extremely worrisome. The fact that every single Republican voted for him was, in large part, due to the deep desire to put the embarrassment of the past three weeks behind him. It goes without saying that he does not have the actual heartfelt support of all those who voted yes, perhaps even dozens of them. However he has miles of runway and is free to indulge in whatever fever dreams he wishes. The GOP is not going back to that well again. It is dispiritingly clear how shackled Republicans in office are to Trump.

Somehow the radicals, those who are in government only to smash the crockery, have emerged with a victory that even they could not have dreamed of. The next year will be one of utter chaos and May cast far reaching shadows.

There is only one bright spot - it is one more year of rampaging only if the Americans get their act together and deliver a crushing blow at the polls to this slimy cult whose members hide with equal nimbleness behind God and Trump.

This fever will not abate until Democrats win an unambiguous victory at all levels in 2024. The scoundrels must be routed.

Total agreement: Trump must be handed a defeat so total and complete that it cannot be overturned, questioned or handed to the Stench Court.
