and the far bigger problem today
still support the lying thieve after exposure of his lies and loot
and likely no trial evidence in the 4 or 5 trials
will change any of the RWNJ'S LOVE FOR THE RUMP

THEY WANT PUTIN STYLE STRONGMAN LEADERSHIP
never mind the results or long term impacts to our system

and you blabber about $$$$$$ when
the future of freedom is the question




And there we have the illusion many Dems are holding on to. Reminding them of how we bankrupted the former Soviet Union by them trying to stay with us militarily ended their country as they knew it. Now the Dems want to do the same things to their own country except it's not for military, it's more for social agendas, forcing us to move to electric vehicles, supporting illegal aliens and so on. Makes one wonder what Kool Aide punch bowl they drank from.

Ahead of his sudden ascension to House speaker late last week, the media had little time to vet Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., thoroughly. And because he sucks in so many ways, it's been hard for his critics to settle on one of his many evil inclinations to focus on. He's a Christian nationalist. He's an election denier. He wants to destroy Medicare and Social Security. He's a fan of neo-Nazi conspiracy theories. As Brian Beutler of Off Message writes, "typecasting an opposition leader" may be tedious, but it's politically necessary. Democrats have benefited from the fact that the most famous Republican villains have one standout trait that defines their personality: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is a pugnacious bully. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is a loudmouthed Karen. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California is a spineless suck-up.

But so far, no single narrative about Johnson has emerged. Which of the many flavors of "right-wing radical" is best to focus on? As I offered my newsletter Friday, what stands out to me about Johnson — and I suspect will be compelling to most people — is what a sinister little creep he is. The man gives off strong incel energy, and his elevation really showcases how much the politics of bitter sexual obsession have come to dominate the Republican Party.

Journalists and Democratic researchers have been carefully compiling a couple decades worth of quotes from Johnson, who flat-out rejects the First Amendment prohibition against government-imposed religion. Instead, he falsely claims the Founders wished to impose his deeply fundamentalist faith on the public on the grounds that we "depend upon religious and moral virtue" to "prevent political corruption and the abuse of power."

like most of the Gop he is a nut a godbothered nut




I absolutely loved everything you just said about Mike Johnson, I feel really good about this.

Well, I wouldn't expect any "left wing commie pinko pantywaist" to understand or agree.
Ignorance is apparently bliss. If, he and his wife find comfort in praying, what's that to you?

"She spent the last several weeks on her knees praying to the lord, so she's worn out."

Why is this creepy? Are you making some kind of a sexual innuendo here? He's extremely religious.

Perhaps that insinuation is more a reflection of where your mind is at.

And this is rational behavior? Someone on their knees praying for three two weeks? Praying for what?

Praying for a cure to cancer?

Praying for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine?

Or perhaps praying that her husband get the plum House Speaker gig?

Patrick,
I wasn't there so, maybe you should ask her.
I would assume that she prayed for her family, her country and the things she believes in and most likely guidance but, as I said, I wasn't there and am not privy to such things.
Maybe she was praying for President Biden and the Dem leadership to see what they are doing to the US. I have no idea, Better ask her.

Thanks, correction made. I think Todd threw me off when he stated "several weeks".
