MAGA ELECTION DENIER BECOMES SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.


Johnson played a leading role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Others who worked with and for Trump in trying to overturn the 2020 election have pleaded GUILTY of felonies for doing so.

So, we are going to have a Speaker who tried to overturn the 2020 election, wants to impeach Biden, wanted to shut down the government last month, cut off aid to Ukraine, and opposes gay marriage. 

Good luck to House Republicans in swing districts next year.

And this is the best "compromise" the republicans can come up with. A MAGAt nut job.

House Judiciary Dems

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson attacks Roe v. Wade, insisting that if only women were compelled to bring more "able-bodied workers" into the world, Republicans wouldn’t need to slash Social Security and Medicare.




COMPELLED?! Here Johnson is bemoaning the fact that the US doesn't COMPEL women and girls to bear children.

I want every female in this country (conservative and liberal) to understand what the Republicans just voted for and vote accordingly in 2024 to throw these fanatical extremists out on their fascistic arses.

Here is what Chris Cillizza (former Washington Post and CNN reporter) wrote:

"And, Johnson is neither particularly well known or particularly distinguished in his first four terms in Congress. He’s probably best known, nationally at least, for his role as a chief architect of a legal explanation for Donald Trump’s attempted overthrow of the 2020 election results.

What Johnson had going for him that none of the other candidates for Speaker did, however, was that he was a warm body at a time when House Republicans were tired and fed up.

“I think Mike Johnson is going to probably win today simply because they are all exhausted,” predicted former Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Charlie Dent in an interview on CNN earlier today."

My pipe dream is that they get a budget passed, along with additional funds for Ukraine and the Israel conflict and then someone with an ounce of decency brings up a no confidence vote against him, and they vote him out by the end of the year.

There's a difference between trying to overturn an election and trying to prove the election integrity. Just remember what everybody didn't vote for and look what we got. A mail order president who without a doubt it's going to get us into a world conflict because he's a moron and a warmonger. The antisemites in the Democrat party are the ones that are dangerous.
I never saw such division in this country before Obama. Talk about a cult I never saw anything like it the biggest antisemitic, anti-israeli President we ever had. He may have you fooled with his phony demeanor. But I'll stick with my instincts

The House elected Mike "Rino" Johnson as the next speaker of the House on Wednesday as Republicans rallied behind his nomination after weeks of infighting.

Les Carpenter said...

We are soon to see just how many so called Americans are really Americans and how many are but blind, deaf, and dumb MAGA bots goosestepping to their neo-nazi messiah's bleatings... The cult of MAGA tRumpists are, now more than ever, a clear and present danger to our Constitution and our Democratic Republic.

May the MAGA's pay a DEEP and DEVASTATING price all across America in 2024 for their unconstitutional antics as well as their criminal activities and defense of a monster (tRump).

If we are to remain a beacon of liberty and that shinning city on a hill America better vote every last one of these asshats out of office. And replace them with patriotic Democrats or Independents. Short of that kiss the republic as well as decency, honesty, integrity, compassion, tolerance, understanding, and fair play, good bye from America's shores.

We will devolve into a third world shit hole post 2024 if what we see happening now continues to metastasize in the political arena of American conservative and republican politics and graft.

RINO? Here's more proof of the rank stupidity of Trump cultists.

Johnson was one of the architects of Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

Johnson is anti-abortion in ALL cases. No exceptions.

Johnson is anti-marriage equality and LGBTQ rights.

Johnson is anti-Ukranian support.

Johnson has the support of indicted felon and guy liable for RAPE, Donald J. Trump.

And the troll who calls itself "Dragon Lady" is so ill-informed and not smart enough to look up Johnson's record that it calls Johnson a RINO!

When we say Trumpers are dumb, we're not stating an opinion; we're stating a fact.

Dragon Lady just proved that.

Oh, look! It's "Radicalredneck"!

Someone must have left the Bag of Idiots open again!

Lisa: "There's a difference between trying to overturn an election and trying to prove the election integrity."

Yes, we know that. But that's not what happened. You choose to not see what actually happened. Those folks on J6 screaming "HANG MIKE PENCE!" were not trying to "prove the election integrity." They were taking their orders from Trump, y'know, the guy with 91 felony counts and liable for RAPING a woman. Mike Pence would not break the law as Trump asked him to and stop the certification of the electoral votes. THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, not a difference of opinion on election integrity.

And 60 cases that Trump and his team brought before the courts on this "election integrity" question were ALL THROWN OUT FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE, save one that failed on a technicality.

Did you forget or deliberately ignore that fact?


Lisa: . "But I'll stick with my instincts"

You do that. So far, they've all been wrong. See the above facts on your ridiculous assertion about "election integrity."




Dave Miller said...

Yes Lisa... in fact your team trying to "prove the election integrity" whatever that is, was the group of folks beating the crap out of Capitol Police trying to protect both GOP and Democratic Congressmen, Senators and the Vice President.

Over 100 of them went to the hospital.

We can argue all you want on policy, but no one in America should ever be supporting people who beat our police. Violence from the left is wrong, as is violence from the right. And a mob invading the capitol, beating our sworn officers, chanting "Hang Mike Pence" is not a group working to ensure election integrity.

Once again, you must be swimming in those "false facts" you once said to me you post.

the leader of the House GOP is anti-democracy, anti-freedom, anti-diversity, anti separation of church and state, anti LGBTQ, anti Roe v. Wade, anti-science, anti gun reform and anti do anything about climate change. The GOP just chose a christian nationalist to lead them.

-America is not a Christian nation.
-LGBTQ community has a right to exist.
-Biden won.
-MAGA is not the majority.

The new speaker is a Trump sycophant.

Lisa: "There's a difference between trying to overturn an election and trying to prove the election integrity."

As if she knows the difference? She really can't understand her Malevolent Mendacious Messiah is charged for trying to overturn an election. No clue. Her reality is totally defined FOR her by Trump, for she thinks Jesus sent him here to save America. And if he's God's gift to America, she DARE NOT question anything he says. Every word from Trump is gospel to her.

It's refreshing to hear Lisa doesn't think to form opinions. "But I'll stick with my instincts" that Obama is a racist Kenyan Marxist who hates America.

By "instinct" Lisa means following the impulses from her enlarged over active amygdala, the fight or flight center of the primitive limbic system of her brain. Trump is a master at triggering their emotions, racism, paranoia and hate. In authoritarian personalities this triggering overrides the neo-cortex and rational faculties.

Nothing we say can make sense to them. They are indoctrinated like a cult to reject any information, ideas, or opinions that do not conform to Trump's sacred gospel of absolute divine truth. He literally IS their prophet and cult master.

Dave Dubya

Good post. Lisa and her army of trolls are not what one would describe as critical thinkers.

Her idea of encouraging an enlightened discussion on current events is to put up a photoshopped image of Michelle Obama looking like a man, because in her mind that's hilarious.

What a relief to have her blog active again. Now her witless trolls will comment there instead of at P.E.

IMHO said...

Davy Boy, and Davy Miller you BOTH are WRONG as always! Like Lise said, the election WAS rigged. It's just against the democratic enemies, it’s very difficult to prove the many irregularities that were happening. Such activities must be stopped now to protect the next Rigged election that there is NO DOUBT will happen.

Dave Dubya said...

IMHO,

Well, them, since it is "very difficult to prove" the election was stolen, why do you insist it was? Maybe because the only "proof" you have is the holy sacred gospel of your messiah sent by God?

And you wonder why every rational and informed person sees you are in a cult...

Have you heard what Trump's toadies are admitting under oath? What do your thoughts, er, I mean "beliefs", tell you about all of them admitting the truth under oath?

No answer is expected of course. Cults don't answer questions.
