I Didn't Say It: Mike Johnson is the Devil

From I Should Be Laughing:

Mike Johnson, new Speaker of the House, in a 2004 op-ed.

"Homosexual relationships are inherently unnatural and, the studies clearly show, are ultimately harmful and costly for everyone. Society cannot give its stamp of approval to such a dangerous lifestyle. If we change marriage for this tiny, modern minority, we will have to do it for every deviant group. Polygamists, polyamorists, pedophiles, and others will be next in line to claim equal protection. They already are. There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet. The state and its citizens have a compelling interest in preserving the integrity of the marital union by making opposite-sex marriage the exclusive form of family relationship endorsed by the government. Loss of this status will de-emphasize the importance of traditional marriage to society, weaken it, and place our entire democratic system in jeopardy by eroding its foundation. Your race, creed, and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do. This is a free country, but we don't give special protections for every person's bizarre choices."

As with all homophobes, he uses fear to spin his so-called truth: let The Gays marry and the pedophiles will be able to marry children, or dogs, or toasters. In 2023 he still plays out that proven lie that being gay is a choice, when we know for ma fact it's not,. But being a homophobic faux "Christian" bigot is a choice.

This motherfucker—I'd say pardon my language, but the man is a motherfucker—equates being gay to pedophilia and cross-dressing though most everyone with brains that fire on all cylinders, unlike Mike Johnson, knows that most pedophiles are straight men like Mike Johnson and most cross-dressers are straight men like Mike Johnson.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE in 2024.

Vote Blue because the GOP has come for women, is now coming for people of differing faiths, and will soon be coming for the LGBTQ+ Americans, and once they're done with that, they'll come for all of you.

Jenna Ellis, flipping on Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl:

"As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously. I endeavored to represent my client to the best of my abilities and relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true information, especially because my role involved speaking to the media and state legislators. What I did not do, but should have done, was make sure the facts other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. I believe in and value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse."

What Jenna Ellis said in November 2020:

"With all those states [Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia] combined we know that the election was stolen from [Thing 45], and we can prove that."

Huh, seems like Jenna Ellis knew exactly what she was doing: goose-stepping along with liars and cheats and criminals, but as the threat of prison looms closer, she has a change of heart and admits she is a liar, and a cheat and a criminal … and a moron.

Mike Johnson, newly elected House Speaker, in a 2016 interview:

"You know, we don't live in a democracy because a democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner. OK? It's not just majority rule. It's a constitutional republic. The founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition of what a civil society is supposed to look like. What's happened … over the last 60 or 70 years, is that our generation has been convinced that there is a separation of church and state. Most people think that that's part of the Constitution, but it's not. Remember, I'm a constitutional lawyer."

No, you're a Christian Nationalist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic bigot trying to hide your hate behind a cross.

Enjoy your time in office, asshat, 2024 is coming.

Franklin Graham, on sin being the biggest threat to America … not war, climate change, or guns:

"Last night CBS 60 Minutes had a fascinating segment about the Five Eyes, intelligence chiefs from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, who are warning this nation and the world about the dangers China poses. FBI Director Christopher Wray said, 'There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security, and ultimately our national security.' But we must also remember that the greatest threat to the human race is our complacency toward and the acceptance of sin. Sin is rebellion against God—and unless we repent and turn from those sins and believe on the Name of God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting Him as Savior—there is no hope."

Funny that the man who virulently supports a thrice-married adulterer, and a man who cheats and lies about everything in his life, is talking about sin.

The sin of stupidity and lies lives in  Franklin Graham.

Mike Johnson, in his acceptance speech as House Speaker:

"I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night. I don't believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment. This is my belief. I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great nation, and they deserve it. There is a critical distinction that we used to have children memorize in school and they don't do that so often anymore. But they should. All men are created equal. Not 'born equal.' Created equal. "

Hey Mike? Ask your "God" why he raised up a thrice-married adulterous con-artist to the presidency. Ask your "God" why he raised up a pedophile enabler like Gym Jordan; a sexual predator like Matt Gaetz, and adultery like Marge, the queen of the public hand-job like Lauren Boebert; the adulterous Newt Gingrich and so many more.

Ask God why, if She wanted you in power it took her this long.

God didn't raise you to power; your use of God as a weapon of mass distraction and fear did that.

John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania Senator, taking issue with a new school lunch resolution offered by the GOP that would allow people to deny lunch to a child because "God":

"I can't even believe that this resolution is even real. This makes it possible for some random lunch lady to deny lunch to a hungry child because she says her god tells her to. School lunch should be free, and certainly free of judgment. Don't we have better things to do in the upper chamber than picking on kids because of who they are?"

Sadly, apparently not.
