Fuck this guy so much.
uh, not a chance in his imaginary hell
He’s somebody’s type. Oh no, Mitch McConnell is too. I need brain bleach now
Oh no, Mitch McConnell is too
Part of the ol’ lemon party org.
Fucking Mitch McConnell might qualify as necrophilia
They’re perfect for each other!
Yeah that’s a no from me too. I don’t want to shag evil, I want to defenestrate evil.
Well it should definitely mellow him out a bit
Mike Johnson: “Look it’s not my fault that I’m making this country shitty, it is those pesky LGBTQ+ people.”
So where in his Scooby Doo story do we pull off his mask and reveal the raging homosexual that he is…not that there’s anything wrong with that….just wanna see the hypocrisy on full display
Not all bigots are secretly gay. Some are just hate filled assholes. Most are hate filled assholes.
$20 says he likes weiner
He certainly likes Johnson
I think you misspelled “ate” as “are hate”.
Yeah, it’s a good distinction to make purely because this may help their backwards narrative. I mean, this guy is a horrible human being. Wouldn’t it be convenient for those who agree with him to label him as the thing he’s attacking?
Still… There are some indoctrinated, self-hating gay people out there. The people who push the message he’s pushing are really good at ruining vulnerable individuals. It’s horribly sad, and unquestionably awful.
This is the problem, like I’m fine if he was really going to let God do the punishing, but they all wanna take his job
Little mike johnson is living in his own personal HELL on earth where he makes shit up and thinks he hears god.
That’s right out of the Nazi playbook. These people, when cornered, will simply recite Bible versus at you as the reason for their malice.
It’s not inappropriate, I guess… The Bible is full of some pretty horrible and malicious things masked as righteousness.
Johnson then wrote that he worries that “our culture has fallen so far” since the United States’ founding in 1776. “I fear America may be beyond redemption,” he adds.Since 1776? The year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? I would think America got quite a bit better since then. I can think of just a few things that have made it better like:
- 1787 Creation and signing of the US Constitution including that 1st Amendment including the words “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
- 1865 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States
- 1870 15th Amendment granting black men the right to vote.
- 1920 19th Amendment to the Constitution granted women the right to vote and was ratified by the states
If Mike Johnson sees these things as a decline of the United States since the Declaration of Independence, he is saying he is seeing other besides white men gaining the ability to vote as a bad thing.
Republicans, your chosen Speaker of the House sees the Constitution of the United States as a negative thing!
Back in the good ol’ days where you were committed to a mental institution if found masterbating.
If you were a man. Women were committed over far less
I was just listening to the recent Behind the Bastards episodes on the Holy Roller cult from Oregon in 1900 and those motherfuckers were having women committed for refusing to wear a hat/cover their hair.
Another wild ride from the good reverend doctor. These sex cults are just weird yet still so predictable. Outside of the pet and potential toddler burning.
Pretty sure in the 1700’s if they though you were cuckoo, they just strung you up from a tree
Probably that, too.
The thing is about 20 years ago I toured a preserved colonial town in New England (I forget the name, it was in Virginia) and there was a book on display which was an inpatient log for a mental ward. And some of the entries’ reason for admission was “masterbation”.
By the way, New England is specifically the northeast states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island! Virginia was one of the English colonies but isn’t part of New England.
Huh. TIL.
Why is that?
Because they were only engl-ish
It’s the name John Smith gave the area when he landed there that was later adopted by Pilgrims in Plymouth Colony who rode over on the Mayflower.
Cool. I thought “New England” meant the original thirteen colonies. But I’m from the Midwest, so what do I know? ;)
Colonial Williamsburg?
Good question, not sure. I don’t even remember what was nearby.
looks at some pictures
Could be, but then all English towns looked the same back then. I don’t remember any buildings quite that big though.
If it was Virginia, it was either Jamestown or Williamsburg most likely.
Depends. If you were crazy and they thought you were harmful, then probably yes. They also had sanitariums.
It was also not densely populated. It was pretty easy to simply banish someone and they would just fuck off to be on their own.
Bedlam Hospital opened in 1330.
Now we get people doctorbating unpunished.
I mean tbf his ilk are really yearning for those articles of confederation days now that the tide on federation is beginning a grindingly slow turn against them
Something the sheer degree to which Millennials and Gen Z have embraced the cause of Palestine is probably putting into an extremely sharp focus as of late.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
If Mike Johnson sees these things as a decline of the United States since the Declaration of Independence, he is saying he is seeing other besides white men gaining the ability to vote as a bad thing.
Oh you know that’s exactly what he’s thinking!
When it got worse was when Nixon sold out the population in the 70ies.
He 100% believes that
If God is punishing us, he’s doing it by sending a plague of Republicans.
Is that one the plague of snakes?
As House Speaker, it is not your job to speak on behalf of God.
Perhaps leave that to the popes.
He’s Baptist, not Catholic. He doesn’t give a damn what the Pope says.
The point remains. He is in no way an authority within the Baptist church, let alone someone that can speak for God according to that religion.
Seriously, who can possibly be so invested in the personal lives and relationships of others?
I genuinely don’t understand how you can waste your time with that amount of hate.
It’s extremism, plain and simple. Live the life you want and let others live theirs.
Be kind. Support one another despite any differences we may have. Seriously, WTF?
Life would be so much better if everyone just left each other alone. Like 90% of people in the world literally don’t care the 10% that are making the world a crap place.
I honestly don’t understand who votes for this guy because they believes that he represents them. 
Okay, let’s see “God” come on down and do that. Until then I’m gonna continue being “depraved” fucking nut jobs.
He should go to Afghanistan. Our shit says “we the people.” That’s a formal acknowledgment that God is not coming to govern for us.
In fact, established religion at the time generally supported monarchs. A monarchy gets its legitimacy from God at the ordination / coronation. The monarch needs the support of the church because they are supposed to be at least “chosen by God”, if not divine themselves.
How can he be anti-gay when he has Trump’s cock in his mouth and ass 24/7?
To be fair, he can barely feel it.
My 13-year-old daughter like girls much more than boys.
I’m fucking terrified that he’s in power.
Fight back. Organize. Vote.
That may not be enough.
Probably won’t be. But if you can’t move you have to fight
No question. And we are doing that. But it’s an uphill battle. Doesn’t help that she’s half-Jewish, I’m Jewish and my wife, daughter and I are all atheists. We are threatened so many ways from the Mike Johnsons of this country gaining power.
I got your back even though I’m in Canada. Similar situation without the gay. My ex is Jewish. I have one kid with type 1 diabetes. 2 with autism. Daughter has a best friend who’s gay.
The world is marching towards a dangerous place that only sees value in the hegemony. Diversity like us is feared. Then throw in the “evil jew” on top.
Your daughter is fortunate to have you. While it shouldn’t be the case, there are a whole lot of parents who wouldn’t support their kids if they were LGBT.
As much as we like to criticize the US, Americans generally will not stand for the mistreatment of our fellow Americans. Throughout history, the government and some other Americans have tried to go so, and every time, Americans standing in solidarity with each other have won out.
So, if Republicans dare to try anything, give a holler, and we’ll remind Johnston and his ilk that “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” applies to more than just guns, and we will make sure they’re intimately aware of that.
Seriously though, don’t hesitate to call out for help here. If things get that bad, I think several people here will have your back.
I appreciate it. Thanks!
It will, however, be far better than not doing anything.
We still gotta try.
I’m not saying don’t try.
I’m gonna say emphasis on the fight. Let’s build a club.
Let’s build a club.
With like metal spikes all over the end of it for maximum damage?

We’re not supposed to talk about that!
First rule of metal spikey end club.
Had us in the first half.
Come to Europe.
Pick one of those dark blue ones:

We can’t afford to move to another town, let alone another country.
EU countries are very difficult to migrate to. Their standards for residency are just not possible for most of us. I’ve desperately wanted to become an EU resident/citizen for the last 30 years, but simply do not meet the criteria for any of the countries.
But thank you very much for the welcoming invitation.
Any of these have easy citizenship or legal resident process?
Some EU countries have pathways to citizenship/residency, but they are not easy. Such a path will usually involve being hired by a local company to do some type of specialized work that cannot be hired for locally. A highly skilled tech job is usually what that looks like. The other option for some countries (like Spain or Portugal) is to be wealthy and purchase a large amount of real estate in the country.
There was a subreddit called Amerexit that was an excellent resource for this information. I haven’t seen anything similar on Lemmy, though. If you see such a community, let me know!
I can’t blame her. Have you seen boys lately? They’re fucking awful
As a former one myself… teenage boys have always been fucking awful.
It’s getting more and more difficult to understand where they are coming from. I ask my boyfriend what we want to make for dinner, while our speaker asks his son, a minor, to monitor him so that he doesn’t get addicted to porn. The relationship I have with my boyfriend is just as healthy, maybe even more healthy than the relationships I’ve had with women. I give people a pass in the 00s since being queer was rare, but queer people have been in the mainstream for well over a decade at this point, and we are a known quantity. We just want a happy life like everyone else. That’s it.
I often laugh that some religious people most likely spend more time thinking about gay sex than we do. Which is once a week if that for us.
We just want a happy life like everyone else
I thought you wanted to indoctrinate the kids with the woke mind virus, and various other buzzwords and word salad
If god was real, the sky would open up and he’d smush this stupid fuck for using his namesake to spread lies, fear, and bullshit
Actually god told me that he hates Mike Johnson because his last name means penis and that’s fucking gay.
I’m not concerned the wrath of a fictional character.
It’s not the main character I’m worried about. It’s his hoard of arrogant, dipshit, maniacal, obese orcs in pickup trucks.
Me either, unless it’s Khan.
Maybe God is punishing us because we elect imbeciles.
This seems more likely to me
And as always the innocent suffer for it.
But then they get double rewards points in heaven.

That’s not good. I mean seriously God is going to punish America. We don’t know when or how but it’s going to bad. If you are a God Fearing Republican, please evacuate now! Mexico, Canada, Cuba. It doesn’t matter just get out of America before it’s too late! And stay out! For your safety. Think of the children.
I don’t think Mexico, Canada, Cuba, or much anywhere else for that matter would appreciate littering on such a degree.
Mexico, Canada, Cuba
Russia. Russia’s the right answer. Favorite 4th of July vacation spot for more than one US congressperson. Might as well go early for the winter holidays.
Unfortunately they welcome the arrival of their murderous God because they think he will destroy all the icky people.
Oh if he thinks America is gunna burn because of the gays he shouldn’t come to Canada. We legalized gay marriage a decade before the states. By his logic we are long overdue to be a smoking crater.
The best part is when a natural disaster hits which it will because that’s how weather and the earth work, you get to have these Christlike holy people doing gods bidding when they stand there and say “I told you so, this is what you get.” Fucking idiotically sick hypocrites
It’s worse. They are activly driving climate change and when extreme weather events happen more frequently they take that as reassurance that it’s Goss punishment for beeing to gay.
It’s wild. Depressing to. But also realy wild.
