The near future is foreseeable. Johnson will dance on the MAGA strings into another Republican shutdown. This one could drag on for weeks, with the former guy demanding absolute mindless loyalty and getting it from the present House majority until the pressure from voters in swing districts grows unbearable. The spineless will then be squeezed into an awkward attempt at bipartisanship and another manufactured crisis will be resolved. All in service to the god-king.

A long shut down could spell trouble for the GOP next November. But who knows: the fabled “Black Swan Event” or the “October Surprise” seem to be happening too frequently these days. It makes prediction of cause/effect a bad gamble.

It made me sad to realize that you are absolutely right, Kim. It will go exactly that way.
