So, turns out russia is trying to bring down the U.S. from the inside? Isn't this what the intelligence community has been saying for years now, and somehow we keep letting it happen.

FUCK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE GOP

Mike Johnson is...

• Part of the Regressive Religious Right with close ties to fundamentalist religious groups.
• Early on in his career he was a senior attorney and spokesman for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Conservative christian legal advocacy group that wants to outlaw abortion and suppress the LGBTQ community. Alliance Defending Freedom is designated a hate group.
• Supports nation wide abortion ban, and an end to legal same sex marriage through the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges
• Supports restrictions to medical marijuana and refers to it as a "gateway drug"
• Like Emmer, he supported and signed on to Texas v Pennsylvania in an effort to challenge the election results
• He voted to overturn those results in Pennsylvania.
• Supports an end to military aid to Ukraine.
• Johnson has remarked that his career is dedicated to "defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they’ve been under assault."
• As a State Rep he sought to put forth legislation that protected people who discriminated against same sex marriage partners.
• He voted to repeal the ACA
• Proposed cuts to medicaid and social security
• Voted for Trump's tax cut legislation that disproportionately benefitted the wealthy.
• He was 1 out of 147 Republicans to vote to overturn the election results.
• Voted against a January 6 commission
• He reportedly does not even believe in climate change
• One of his committees wrote a statement in support of books on conversion therapy that were recently taken down from Amazon. (So basically a supporter of conversion therapy)
• He has opposed expanding medical marijuana access in his state and in his defense argued specifically that Marijuana can worsen some health conditions like epilepsy. (The context is important, his views on weed are outdated, he refers to weed as a "gateway drug". He went fishing for whatever he could find and take out of context to support his rigid stance. A study did find some adverse effects with epileptics, however, CBD/medical marijuana is also used in treatments for epilepsy)
• He voted in favor of Trump's Muslim ban.
• Has campaigned against LGBTQ rights and anti bullying legislation.
• He has supported similar legislation to Florida's "don't say gay" bill.
• Has referred to homosexuality as "unnatural" and a "dangerous lifestyle". He even argued in an editorial in his local Louisiana Newspaper that homosexuality would eventually lead to the destruction of "the entire Democratic system", and the legalization of pedophilia of course.
• While working for the ADF, he supported criminalizing homosexuality.
• He has argued in favor of including prayer and religious expression in public schools.

(not mine, but worth sharing and adding to)

Of course.

Russia Russia Russia.

Every traito’R’ is funded by the same bunch of bad guys.

Maria Butina. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

A long time.

Someone fetch my fainting couch.

This is what happens when you let money into politics, eventually whole countries can purchase politicians/political parties to do their bidding.

Then it doesn't even matter if the president is born overseas, if he can be bought with overseas funds.

Who's shocked? Anyone? No?

Cool. Moving on then.

Every headline about him just gets worse and worse. Just when you think the last Republican Speaker was bad, they somehow manage to outdo themselves with another, even worse shitbag.

Of course they are. He's the same as the rest of the #TraitorGOP.

We must stomp them out.

Not even a little surprised.

The Russian MAGA coalition must have someone in charge that's accountable to Putin.

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you! Well, not that shocked...

Slightly off topic, but I've been wondering: Is the "a single member of the House can call a vote to remove the Speaker" rule still in effect, or did things go back to default after McCarthy's removal?

What could we say about the massive unilateral view of our politics and media about Israel?

Here you come with that shy, fishy donation to a nobody politician while our government give blank checks, weapon and approval to that racist entity in the middle east.
