I cannot believe how every day more insane shit comes out about him. Lying about his finances, homophobia/transphobia, it just keeps going

If I had to invent a strawman to epitomize everything wrong with Republicans, it would not be as abhorrent as Mike Johnson because he’s fucked up in ways I haven’t even thought about.

I have to admit “Republican without a bank account” and “shares lack of porn activity with son” were not on my GOP bingo card.

… he’s fucked up in ways I haven’t even thought about.

because… you’re fairly normal. normal people don’t think like he does. Even modestly fucked up people don’t think like he does.

They should get serious then. There’s almost always a George Carlin quote ready:

And you won’t see a lot of these pro-life people dousing themselves in kerosene and lighting themselves on fire. You know, morally committed religious people in South Vietnam knew how to stage a god damn demonstration, didn’t they? They knew how to put on a fucking protest. Light yourself on FIRE! Come on, you moral crusaders, let’s see a little smoke.

Don’t forget his close association with child molesters/rapists.
