"I don't find anything unusual about a fundamentalist theocrat who thinks the Bible is the supreme law of the land attending the legal proceedings of an adjudicated sexual assailant and world class fraudster and con-man for cooking the books to to cover up hush money payments he made to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair. Do you?" Maryland Representative Jaime Raskin in The Beast

Do I find it unusual that a fundamentalist theocrat, a conservative, Evangelical Christian, and Republican, is choosing political expediency and partisan loyalty over patriotic American values and over the doctrine, theology and practice of his own Christian faith?

No. I don't find it unusual. It's typical of the kind of hypocrisy demonstrated by fundamentalist, conservative, Evangelical Christians who are elected to public office.

But I do find it deplorable.

This particular Speaker of the House is turning out to be the one who typifies the dishonesty, duplicity, and lack of moral character that has become the trademark of both American Evangelical Christianity and of the Republican party and its politics that has moved to completely undermine the Constitution and government of, by and for the people, and replace it with some form of Christian nationalist "theocracy." I put that in quotes, because there is considerable doubt that what they would come up with would have anything to do with any god, much less the one whom they claim to believe in, and follow, identified by the writers of the sixty-six books of the Protestant Bible.

9. If they're all in New York

Then can't the Democrats pull a sneaky one and get some things done while they're out of town? That should be worth a try.

6. I see that Gaetz and Boebert will be making appearances at the courthouse. MTG will likely be next.

When Gym Jordan shows up odds are he won't be wearing a suit.
