    Johnson has actually done a decent job given the circumstances he's in. He's been very hard right in messaging, but he's been pragmatic in keeping the government open. He deserves pushback for blocking the foreign aid/border security deal that was made, but that's my only real complaint about him as Speaker, despite having severe reservations about him.

    Kari Lake pals around with white nationalists—and GOP leaders are behind her

    Is it official now? Has the Senate GOP just declared themselves the party of Trump and white nationalists? Sure seems like it.


    Sen. John Barrasso endorsed far-right election denier Kari Lake's bid for an Arizona Senate seat while white nationalist Wade Searle (center) stood in the background with other supporters.
    Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake has been cozying up to a well-known white nationalist and QAnon-adjacent operative, the Arizona Mirror reports. Wade Searle has been called one of neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes’ “strongest soldiers.” Searle lost his job working for the extremist Rep. Paul Gosar after Talking Points Memo exposed his ties to Fuentes.

    So of course Searle has been welcomed by Lake, the biggest election denier of 2022 after she lost her gubernatorial bid to Democrat Katie Hobbs. Lake continued to claim she was the “lawful governor”—even as she was filing papers to run for the Senate seat currently occupied by Kyrsten Sinema, who announced Tuesday that she will not seek reelection.

    Like the true Donald Trump fanatic she is, Lake filed repeated lawsuits to challenge the election outcome. Like Trump, she just kept losing those suits. Also like Trump, she’s embroiled in a defamation lawsuit over her attacks on an election official.

    Searle has been showing up at Lake’s campaign events, even standing prominently behind her when Sen. John Barrasso—a member of the Senate GOP leadership—recently gave her his endorsement.

    Lake’s campaign and Searle boost each other’s social media posts, and Searle seems to be involved with two Arizona groups, Students for Kari and Students for Trump, the Mirror reports. Lake, Searle, and the groups didn’t respond to the Mirror’s request for comment and clarification about his role in her campaign.

    That endorsement from Barrasso isn’t a one-off from Senate Republican leadership or the GOP establishment. They’re coalescing behind Lake’s bid—never mind the MAGA-spouting white nationalist neo-Nazi lurking just below the surface of her campaign. A whole mess of senators are holding a fundraiser for her in Washington this week, including wannabe Senate Minority Leader John Cornyn, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Steve Daines, and Senate Republican Policy Committee Chair Joni Ernst.

    I gave a presentation one time to a committee of the MN House. At the time I was in my early 30’s and had recently started my own architecture and urban design business after having got my degree and worked as a research fellow at the U of MN. In the middle of my presentation one of the representatives said “this is just some student, we shouldn’t listen to him.”

    And yes it was a Republican Rep from a rural district.

    People have to understand . . . there is no Republican Party anymore

    The Republicans have become victim of their own animal
    They have been infiltrated and taken over . . .

    They created this synthetic virus . . .to kill the Reform Party
    but thought they were immune to it. . . but it just had a longer gestation period

    Trumpers. . .MAGA .. . is just s Mutation of the Tea Party
