Hate to disappoint(?) but surely not surprise you; oh no, the MSM is already most definitely blaming this on Democrats:

"Why won't those mean DEMOCRATS just help Republicans pick the next person who'll spend two years burning taxpayer dollars on lies, and threatening a shutdown over the debt ceiling? IT'S SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!"
I'm about 2 minutes into the 'cast, so if you called this out later along in it; apologies.
As always, thanks for all you do.
Also (hey, you knew I'd be back - don't give me the look), it sounds like the beginning of the 'cast loops at 2:37, right after BlueGal says, "We want to point everybody over to our first Tuesday show of the new year..." It rolls right back to "I loved your tweet today, Driftglass; Why Won't Obama Lead?"
The cast is posted, so you may not be able to edit at this point without zapping the initial blog post. Just sharing in case you can, or want to repost it on proleftpod.
Thanks for all you do.
David Fucking Brooks tonight on PBS Newshour with Judy Fucking Woodruff and Jonathan Capehart:
"I think they're sort of moving on beyond Trump, but they still say it was a lie. And so there's a lack of loyalty to the truth. And when I look on — after two years, and now we have a longer time frame, so I think about the gradual — all the doors the Republican Party and the country had to walk through to get to January 6.
And, to me, I don't want to prettify the past. There was Father Coughlin. There was nativists. There's been a lot of ugliness in American history. But I would say, over the course of my lifetime, and, frankly, my, at one time, alliance with the Republican Party, there were a lot of doors they walked to that created what you might call a loss of moral knowledge that — what was it, the panic of Rush Limbaugh, the — a lot of what happened to the white Christian nationalists and the evangelical communities."
David Fucking Brooks, looking back "over the course of [his] lifetime", "do[es]n't want to prettify the past" about his "at one time, alliance with the Republican Party".
Is Sykes handing out dosed cookies or something?
Keep them lifeboats lit!
There are dead people voting in the House of Reps for speaker.
Call in the Cyber Ninjas to recount and check for Chinese Bamboo or Russia Papal on the paper with the tally handed to the clerk to read, from the Dominion voting machines.
Send in fake electors. Have Jim Jordan toss out the real and substitute the fake ones.
Sometimes I just can't help it............
So, after eating a mountain of shit with a shed full of shovels, repeatedly sucking the fringiest of wingnut schlongs, and selling out the people's house to the worst people on the planet, Kevin is now the speaker of the house.
I haven't seen what is in the "rules package" yet, but I do imagine it to be its own insurrection in honor of the one that preceded it by two years.
Some optimistic writer this morning posited that Kevin may actually be so angry about the buggering he just received that he might just shiv the Insane Clown Caucus when the bills for the debt ceiling, farm bill, and government funding for next fiscal year come to the floor, but I am not that optimistic.
Nope, see, Kevin is the last "young gun" standing and he deserves to be speaker just like that Paul Ryan fella.
Bakersfield is a couple of districts south of here, so I never got the chance to vote against Kevin, although I had sort of hoped we would get rid of him in the blue wave of 2018. No such luck. Bakersfield is full of the sort of wonderful folks who want to secede from California because it's too woke.
Doesn't matter how many times you point out that Russia is behind all of the secession or break the state into three efforts, they sort of like Russia there, you know, because it's white.
I found some keys on the ground outside of the dollar store yesterday, and managed to get them to this nice red haired older lady who had dropped them out of the pocket of her white sweater. She was in distress looking for them and it made my day to get to make her day and hand them to her.
Thank you again for the podcast. Hakeem Jeffries seems to be good at his job, and if the Democrats had to put their dumbest, worst performing rep on camera for hours to explain their positions, they would still do a better job and make more sense than Matt the fuck Gaetz.

Help get the word out to the ELON.
It is reported that the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment ) is considering selling. It seems It seems Vince McMann is considering a life at the Mag A Lago retirement home and resort.
This is Elon's masterful way out of Twitter, or what is left of To keep face and al that ego stuff.
You never know, perhaps Elon can get Vince to make a trade straight across Twit for WWE. Vince might be better suited for Twitter and Elon will no doubt fit right in at WWE.
Or just maybe, Elon buts the WWE and merges it with Twitter.
By the way, during the days of GOP House trials and tribulations.
I did not hear one prayer for Kevin. Not a one.
GOD never came up once. With the exception of the blasphemous phrase of, "Oh God".
Republicans. Why have thou forsaken God?
Bring in the Club for Growth to negotiate on behalf of Satan, behind closed doors bartering with the not McCarthy votes. Is not Kosher.
I think you really need to trademark “Bumfuzzled”, DG, before it starts proliferating unchecked! :)
