The next elected president (we don’t count Vance, who’s going to get an accidental term) is going to be an influencer. Take your pick, America. You can have Ms. Rachel (D) or Mr. Beast (R). Either will be absolutely bizarre for different reasons, but those are our options in the post-Trump world.

Mike Johnson remember was to be the Dean of the Judge Paul Pressler Law School at Louisiana College, Pressler of course being the notorious abuser of young men. Johnson has never disavowed him, or commented on the larger scandal of Southern Baptist sexual abuse - because reporters didn't ask.

Republican Jesus told Mike Johnson to cover up Jeffrey Epstein‘s raping and trafficking of children. Not the real Jesus — Republican Jesus. I’m talking about the ersatz Jesus that Republicans invented because they didn’t want to show the love, charity and honesty that the real Jesus preached.
