Guess Who Wants A Seat At The Table?

Remember 06 January?

If you do you will remember that loonie that dressed like a Native American medicine man, the so-called QAnon Shaman….he was arrested convicted and then let out for whatever reason….well he is back looking for a new job.

The new job he is seeking is as representative of the people…..

Jacob Chansley, the man often seen as the face of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and who is perhaps more famously known as “QAnon Shaman,” promised after being released from prison and a halfway house that he would continue his quest for “truth.” Apparently that journey involves the 35-year-old running for Congress in Arizona. The Arizona Republic reports he filed a candidate statement of interest with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office Thursday, though he used the name Jacob Angeli-Chansley, which he has been known to go by. He indicated he’d run as a libertarian. The US Constitution does not prohibit convicted felons from holding federal office, Axios notes.

Chansley is looking to replace Debbie Lesko, a Republican, who is not seeking re-election to the House of Representatives next year. And he’s far from the only one: Per the Republic, the field is “so crowded, he’s not even the only one who was at the attack on the Capitol.” Arizona state Sen. Anthony Kern, who is also running, was also at the Capitol on January 6. Other Republicans running include Arizona House speaker Ben Toma and Trent Franks, who once held the seat but resigned amid controversy regarding sexual harassment and a strange surrogacy offer in 2017.

You may think the House is a silly house of clowns well if this d/bag wins it will only get worse.

Time to lock this ilk away from civil society….for his part and his conviction should negate this tool from ever holding office.   PERIOD!

Let The Game Begin (Again)

It is that time again after kicking the can down the road yet again the clock is closing in on round two….and the silliness begins all over again.

The new speaker is starting the game this week….not much to report right now but I bet it gets slimy quickly.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told his GOP conference on Saturday, with just five workdays left before the deadline, that he’s decided on a plan to avoid a government shutdown. As crunch time approaches, the new speaker said, “I wasn’t the architect of the mess we are in” on the phone call, CNN reports. He pitched a two-step continuing resolution instead of the usual funding extension for the whole government. It’s an untested strategy and an attempt to mollify the hardline Republicans generally opposed to continuing resolutions, per NBC News. The proposal has no budget cuts, and it does not include military aid for Israel or Ukraine.

he first bill would fund military construction, Veterans Affairs, the Energy Department, transportation, and housing, running until Jan. 19. The second step cover the rest of the government until Feb. 2. Senators have criticized such an approach as overly complicated and difficult to enact. And House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called the strategy a “right-wing joyride which would crash and burn the economy.” Republican GOP Rep. Chip Roy, one of the members Johnson was trying to appease, tweeted Saturday that he’s opposed to Johnson’s proposal because it lacks major spending cuts, per CNN. A House vote could happen as soon as Tuesday.

This is the opening salvo….but there is nothing about raping social programs so it is a non-starter for the idiots on the Right.

This whole tragedy will become even more messy that it has in the past….which is a shame for this is not governing just an attempt to disrupt and confuse.

I would say it will be interesting but in retrospect that would be fanciful wishing.

I will be watching and as per usual commenting as well as reporting.

Stay tuned and stay informed.
