Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is poised to raise gobs of money and potentially overthrow the old guard of the Democratic Party.
Remember when we were all laughing at McCarthy because he wanted to be Speaker so badly and kept failing, over and over, to get enough votes? And how it was funny when he got ousted because of the rules he had to agree to in order to secure the votes from the crazies? And laughing because that, predictably, bit him in the ass?
I feel like that stopped being funny when we got Mike “Shares his porn watchlist with his son” Johnson as Speaker. At least McCarthy was a politician and not a crazy, religious zealot two heartbeats from the presidency.
Republicans --We Always Have Someone Worse Than the Last Guy
Things have always gotten worse with Republicans. It does not ever get better. What we had last week is better than what we’ll be dealing with next week.
To be honest, I’m not sure who is better or worse between the two. Democrats at least appreciate that Johnson usually keeps his word during negotiations.

This has always been their way.
Feels like the old Russian mantra applies to us more and more these days. “And then things got worse.”
No. This is very much not normal.
Normal is trying to be good and often doing it. Not . . . whatever this is.

Meh, fuck ‘em.
