Thanks, Jess, for the clear-eyed response to the Speaker debacle. Upon Mike Johnson's descent to the chair, I posted the following on Robert Hubbell's Today's Edition Newsletter (hope it's not inappropriate):

"Well, I guess today's episode of Speaker For A Day is in the can. For those who wished for a different outcome (as I did), remember: If wishes were horses, we'd all be up to our necks in horse$#!+.

"Let's get to work and give the Republican'ts the shellacking they deserve on November 7 and clear the way for 2024. We need a massive BLUE WAVE to wash away the toxic RED TIDE!"

As a Christian, I’m sensitive to attributing positions on gay rights, abortion, etc. to one’s religion. Positions on sexual orientation, abortion, and other topics are not defined by one’s Christianity, though many Christians argue they are. Just like in the early church, some said being a Christian demanded circumcision. Others disagreed. This to say that Johnson can’t blame his anti-gay and anti-abortion opinions on Christianity. They are not part of Christian doctrine.
