"Why are you ignoring questions from one of our country's four largest newspapers, Karine?" Let me guess, that was the infantile dipshit from the 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵, right?
A few years ago, Representative Mike Johnson, now Speaker of the House, told an audience that democracy is bad. “By the way, the United States is not a democracy,” he explained. “Do you know what a democracy is? Two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. You don’t want to be in a democracy.”
This is an extremely common view among American conservatives, who — unlike right-of-center parties in most democracies worldwide — have largely refused to accept the legitimacy of democratic decision-making over economic policy. In particular, they regard the government’s tax-and-transfer power as an abusive and illegitimate infringement on the right of rich people to keep their income.
That belief is vital to explain Johnson’s new maneuver, which is to tie any new funding for Israel to a demand to reduce IRS enforcement of wealthy people’s tax compliance
Like Matt Gaetz, it appears that Chrisofascist Mike Johnson also has a secret "adopted minority son" who isn't his adopted son. Gaetz moved Nestor into his house when the boy was 12 yrs-old. Johnson moved Michael into his house when the boy was 14 yrs-old.
“Have you seen the story ‘The Blind Side’? That was our story, except my Michael was not an NFL prospect…we took him in as our own.” Yeah . . . given what has come out about the whole "Blind Side" thing, I can believe that your story with Michael is probably similar. I'm curious as to whether the kid's parents or relatives had any say in what the Johnson's did. And I am probably just being cynical here, but the last bit there, "we took him in as our own" sounds rather possessive, in a property way.
He was taken in by them in 1999. Johnson became a LA state rep in 2015. How much of the "public spotlight" would he have been in that he requested to be out of it? Or was it that it wasn't "requested" by him, but "required" by them.
That's...not weird at all actually. Gaetz' situation is weird and not well-explained, this seems pretty normal. Why should we care if he officially adopted him or not?
Or, we don't care because a family taking in a child is a nice thing to do, regardless of their race or adoptive status. He's an adult now and doesn't want to be involved in public life, and yet people are insinuating all sorts of things about him.
The moron can literally contractict himself 180 degrees from one sentence to the next. And he can incriminate himself with one of his bragging utterances in a flash.
I'm guessing his attorneys have stocked up on cyanide in the event he does take the stand.

I love this admiral!
He's unflappable. He knows his shit. He can roast these fucking amateur "reporters" alive without them even realizing it.
I really liked how he conveyed empathy to that journalist re: his family in Gaza being killed. He seems to understand the complexity of the situation.
This sort of thing that Kirby displayed is totally alien to your typical MAGAt.
What a STUPID FUCKING QUESTION from Peter the dipshit here.
Why is he even sitting in the front row?
The right wing is really trying to terrify Americans by suggesting Hamas agents are flooding across the border.
Fuck them. Chaos shit monkeys.
Fear-gasm merchants.
Everyone has that one thing they're good at.
I'm sorry, Karine, but it is the Jeebus-given right for pharma CEOs to charge out the fucking ass for any drug that seniors need. It's the Mammon way!
(insert Ted Knight "we're waiting!" gif here)
Mike Johnson, asshole.

This fucker is playing with ten year old TNT!
"I don't have a dog. I have a border collie."
I'm tired of these assclowns' semantic chicanery. As if a constitutional republic isn't a form of democracy.
Because Jesus proclaimed Blessed are the rich!
It's right there in red letters in Mammon 6: 8!

The pedo grooming is coming from inside the house!
I expect the media to thoroughly investigate these claims of adopting children by these two congressmen. With a legitimate story from each.

Follow up question, Speaker, do you share any genes with this person?
“Have you seen the story ‘The Blind Side’? That was our story, except my Michael was not an NFL prospect…we took him in as our own.” Yeah . . . given what has come out about the whole "Blind Side" thing, I can believe that your story with Michael is probably similar.

It's all interesting because his flavor of Christian still sees black people as a slave race.
Wasn't that whole "Blind Side" story subsequently exposed as an enormous grift?
Yep.
Making the movie a work of fiction - but still a movie.
What a coincidence.
Imagine being such a shitty person that you refer to an adopted child (??) as "my Black son" rather than just "my son".
And he described one of his other sons as "white Caucasian."
What a weird, weird man.
Its performative...
He was taken in by them in 1999. Johnson became a LA state rep in 2015. How much of the "public spotlight" would he have been in that he requested to be out of it? Or was it that it wasn't "requested" by him, but "required" by them.
So, the former kid was about 29 when Johnson was elected. This lack of presence as a "token" may be the Black guy's choice. He's an adult, not a pet.
Did the hyper-Christian Johnsons provide this individual higher education? Maybe a trade? At least a mule and a plow?
That's...not weird at all actually. Gaetz' situation is weird and not well-explained, this seems pretty normal. Why should we care if he officially adopted him or not?
If Michael has been legally adopted, then we don't. The grey area is Johnson saying Michael's adopted if he's not.
Or, we don't care because a family taking in a child is a nice thing to do, regardless of their race or adoptive status. He's an adult now and doesn't want to be involved in public life, and yet people are insinuating all sorts of things about him.
Is there a market somewhere where they’re buying these kids? Down in New Orleans, perhaps?
Yes, there is basically a "market" where these jebofascists get their adopted brown and Black babies.
There are whole books written about it, e.g. "The Child Catchers" or something like that.
There have been several prominent cases where those children ended up dead b/c of good Christian discipline. *sigh*
Online at Wayfair.
Cabinet included!
Maybe outside Home Depot?
That would be traditional.
Yeah, from the basement of a pizza parlor.
The movie Get Out comes to mind for some reason

cyanide for themselves, not for their client, one hopes. the client needs to be properly convicted, sentenced and incarcerated.

"'What was he doing?': Expert slams Eric Trump's 'pouring concrete' excuse"
https://www.rawstory.com/eric-trump-fraud-trial/
Really? Were you also the hod carrier and drywaller?
The cadwallader?
To be fair, he could have been pouring concrete shoes that wound up in the East River.
Eric is not competent enough- if he tried that he'd drown himself...
Do I have to watch? I don't wanna.
Congress is scary Halloween movie. But it’s not a fun scary. More of a depressing scary.
Good morning folks, Mike Johnson is fucking up everything, that is all...
Give a few CEOs of serviciers tumbrel rides.
