Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe someone should subpoena his FAFSA and see how much free money he is getting to put his kids through college

We have four kids, five now, that are very active.
Talk about a real-time update. "OH, THIS JUST IN, SHE'S POPPED OUT ANOTHER ONE!" Or did he just briefly forget about the black one?
Forgot to round up
If it was a normal person I would cut him some slack. Your memory goes to shit when you are a parent about kid stuff. Kids go from potato to walking talking eating machines in a year. There are moments when you see them do something and you are like "how are you bicycling, I feel like I just changed your diaper about a month ago?".

“Look, I’m a man of modest means,” Johnson said. “
Yeah, he's modest about how many means he's hiding from the IRS.
most of my career has been in the nonprofit sector.
Specifically the Christian Right sector, which is extremely lucrative compared to most officially for profit sectors
I can relate to everybody else.
Said the man who's famously a bigot who wants government to be based on his interpretation of what his imaginary friend wants 🤦
we can relate to every hard-working American family. That’s who we are. And I think it governs and helps govern my decisions and how I lead.
I think I've cracked the code! In his vernacular, "relate to" means "abuse and steal from"! #MysterySolved
Probably getting paid by church money under the table without being taxed.
I've met regular people who do that and admitted they weren't paying taxes on the church wages, so even the little guys are getting away with that
I had a fantasy last night where I became president and made the CEO/board of directors culpable for any illegal activities of the company then placed a banking embargo on every non-extradition country. Double whammy, they run, can't access their US assets, they stay, can't access their tax haven accounts.

How does he get his paycheck? If he actually receives a paper check, how does he cash it?
Gold bars, of course. Oh wait, you mean his paycheck from the US Government, not the other ones, don't you?
I mean, it makes sense. Where in the US would he be able to cash a check for rubles?
Cashes it at Walmart
He's been in government since 2017 or earlier, and gov jobs require electronic payment. Period. I have no idea how this motherfucker can get paid by the federal government without a bank account.
Please someone explain.
If the Rs are going to continue supporting Santos and Clarence Thomas, they're not going to do shit to this NatC for doing far less.

His creepy affect and smirk just exudes ‘hiding a kiddie porn dungeon’ vibes.
Absolutely... The first time I saw him in a pic, i shrouded at the smirk. In all the images I have seen him in since, he looks like he's constantly on the verge of some kind of orgasm, always this dismissive smirk in his face.
Signature smarmy smirk
We have four kids, five now,
What? If that adopted son is real, I feel so bad for him. My guess is, he was so used to lying about everything that he didn't think this would ever come back to haunt him. Or is he saying he just hired the actor to play the son?
Also, as a House dude, don't you have to disclose your financial situation legally?
Yep. It's required for accounts totalling more than $5000, because a poor politician is easier to buy off than a rich one.
So unless he's flat broke (unlikely for a Republican), he's hiding assets.
a poor politician is easier to buy off than a rich one.
Nice thought but probably not true. See literally any US politician. Or Supreme Court judge.
"A man with a lot of Ivory is less likely to be an Ivory hunter than a man with no Ivory!"
But a man with a lot of money is much more likely to be greedy than a man with no money.

Holy shit, just answer the question, Mike
Right? That was the most unpracticed "talk until they go away" I've ever read.
Answers that are sus for 1000
I'd go for 100. The lowest amount has the easiest answers.
It's a simple question and the criminal didn't answer it
Maybe we should ask his porn accountability partner, his 17 year old son.
You get a red flag! You get a red flag! Everybody gets.. no you get a red flag!
Somehow I'm getting two-three texts every day from this scumbag, though I've never voted conservative or signed any conservative petitions.
Different number every time, so I can't block them.
Help.
If you opt out and still get texts, you can probably file a complaint with the FCC or some federal agency.
Any email given to any government agency becomes public and purchasable by third parties.

It is amazing how all the verbal tricks and rhetoric don't work when it is written out.
This weird little man is weird, even by GOP standards.
