John Boehner has been touring the country pumping his book, the one in which he tells Ted Cruz to go fck himself, the one in which he lamented the fact that today’s Republicans are more interested in simply destroying the country over getting legislation (mostly destroying the Democrats, which would destroy the country since Democrats are what holds the country together, See for e.g. January 6th). He brags about getting along with President Obama, all that.

He doesn’t come across as a “good guy” necessarily. But he comes across as less of a “bad guy.”

Yeah, flush all that down the toilet. Given a choice between voting for his good friend and good guy Joe Biden versus the insane man attempting to destroy democracy and take over the country, John Boehner voted for the latter. So forget all that he said, attempting to be the reasonable one.

According to Time Magazine:

“I voted for Donald Trump,” he said. “I thought that his policies, by and large, mirrored the policies that I believed in. I thought the choices for the Supreme Court were top notch. At the end of the day, who gets nominated to the federal courts is really the most important thing a President does.”

John, John, John. This reasoning may have worked the first time in 2016. But after having appointed three SCOTUS justices, ensuring one hell of an advantage over any liberal case making its way to the court. Moreover, this SCOTUS might even be too conservative for John Boehner because they are sure to come up with some real whacked opinions that could easily throw the country into a devastating conservative spiral that few saw coming.

Given the two stolen seats, Joe Biden has every reason to pack the court. If and when Biden does pack the court, the next Republican will pack it again, and so forth and so forth. Boehner’s reasoning is specious and shows him in his true light. It eviscerates what was meant to be the central message of his book. But what would one expect from a proud Republican?
