Expect a Quieter Jan. 6 This Time Around - as Long as Republicans Avert a Looming Speakership Crisis

Friday, December 27, 2024

No Democrats are circulating plans to object to Donald Trump's victory. Kamala Harris plans to certify his win. Republicans just need to make sure they elect a speaker in time.

Should unhappy House Republicans depose House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), that could put in place a delay in certifying Donald Trump as the next president.

DC police have to be thrilled they won't be attacked by filth-smearing, cop-killing berserkers.

The greatest danger to MAGAts is themselves

What could possibly go wrong?

Barring a dark horse . . .

Democrats could lay down and help Johnson?

Republicans could lay down and help Jeffries?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
What's in a name?
Face on a stage
Where are you now?
Memory fades, you take a bow

[Verse 2]
Here in the dark
Watching the screen
Look at them fall
The final scene

[Chorus]
And we go doot
Doot-doot
And we go doot
Doot-doot-doot-doot-doot...
...

I was thinking more along the lines of a dark horse denying a plurality to gum up the works . . . if anybody was so inclined.

Only way the Dems come back with force is if the far right overplay their hand across the country, across the world, and with Trump, it is hard to believe he won't be even worse this second time than the first.

Trump's sure got his werk cut out for him after Co-President Musk and Vice President Ramaswamy took a gigantic dump on the MAGAts for being too lazy, too poorly educated, and too effin stoopid to do much more than pick their noses. And who's better? Foreign workers! Gotta love this one all over town.

Given time Trump will be labeled as the worst thing that ever happened to America.

The worst part is the many, many years it will take for our allies that he alienated to ever trust this country again.

That "Shining City on the Hill" may be lost forever.

"The worst part is the many, many years it will take for our allies that he alienated to ever trust this country again."

They will be and will remain deeply and justifiably suspicious of a country and people such as ours.
