I intend to change his diaper. I like to be anywhere in his orbit. When I'm done, he may let me read aloud the amicus brief Liz Cheney and I wrote for him.
One need only look to Ohio to affirm Johnson's views. The funding of public schools was ruled unconstitutional on the order of 30 years ago, the republicans basically told the Ohio SC to pee up a rope and have gotten away with it to date. Matt Huffman engineered the means to loot public schools to fund parochial schools and collects his paycheck while his children get to attend Lima Central Catholic pro bono.
The Ohio lege has taken the meat cleaver to reproductive rights and those of the LGBTQ+ community with no regard for the will of the voters. Ditto legal pot.
This is where we are headed under another republican administration nation-wide. There is literally no authority they will answer to.
You have summarized the core issues this state has had to endure succinctly and without hyperbole. I still have a naive hope that we might overcome the GOP Dark Age.
Anyone who claims gawd talks to them is automatically on my list of people to whom I do not listen. Ever. Mike Johnson is a religious wackjob that wants to turn this country into a theocratic hellhole. Do any of these people ever look at history and think how poorly theocracies turn out? Or does their jealousy of what they get away with in Islamic run countries befuddle their brains with delusions of stoning little girls to death? It takes the total disenfranchisement and suppression of women to end up with the complete degradation of a society like you see in Iran or Saudi Arabia. You know like the right is attempting to do here.

These aren’t people to think things through in the level of detail you just provided. They have an agenda to enact and don’t care what happens after it’s enacted.
They figure (almost always correctly) they are safe because of their gerrymandered districts.
I will never agree with her on policy, because my vision of the role of government in social issues - including the way economics affects people on the ground - is not the same as Cheney's.
But when it comes to the basic rules of the game - the Constitutional and Judicial rules - she's very much on, if not the exact same page as me, very nearby in the chapter. These are two different aspects of our government - policy, and structure. It's helped me quite a bit to remember to separate the two when thinking about Cheney and other conservatives who, despite our differences, uphold and support consitutional law. And it casts into sharp light that the core danger of the Republican party is that it has eschewed adherance to the structure of our laws, and even worse, been alarmingly accepting of violence in stepping around the law.
Cheney and Kitzinger are it - and as you note, on policy, I'll never agree with them.
I haven't seen any other conservatives actively calling out the power-at-all-costs christopathic fascist nazis that make up the bulk of their party at the moment.
The banality of bland gravy...
Mike Johnson scares me.
...besides the guy WHOSE ASS Johnson's mouth is permanently affixed to.
FIFY

"We just need to do this one last thing for Trump.”
And what exactly are you going to do for him Mike?
Because I have a suggestion.

Johnson looks like the kind of guy who viciously beats his children and tells them, "this hurts me more than it hurts you."

Dog dicks libelz!
"And what happened in many states by changing the election laws without ratification by the state legislatures is a violation of the Constitution."
`
Oh, really, that's what happened?
::sweeping sarcastic gesture::
By all means, elaborate.
Who changed the laws?
In which states?
When?
How?
Be sure to back up your claims with evidence, because just ASSERTING something happened does not constitute PROOF that it happened.
Yeah, no. You clearly misunderstand how this works: a Republican pol tells a lie, and media gives zero pushback. None.
Johnson strikes me as exactly the kind of creepy little SS fuck who was designing gas chambers and crematoriums in 30s Germany.
Very busy with "resettlement to the East" train schedules.
The thing that will foil that is GQPers hate mass transit.
No problem there; they'll just find a way to make the victims pay for it, same as the Third Reich did.

They can answer to the barrel of a gun.

I like your philosophy. Son of Sam- My dog told me to kill people.
Religious Right Wing Nuts- The lord spaketh to me.
Both are absolutely batshit crazy.
You’re hearing voices means you need some medication STAT!
I'm hearing voice that are saying "don't post that thought or you'll be banhammered!"
Can't stand her politics and her enabling of thieves and criminals throughout her career.
On the other hand, as been said throughout human history,
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
For now.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but they may be useful for the time being
Stalin was useful to FDR and Churchill, and vice-versa.

Sounds like in addition to someone monitoring his porn habits, he needs someone to monitor his lying habits.
Is he looking at porn when his son hears some buzzer going off? Or is he in some hotel room? How did this come up in his public comments?
Mike is a Christofascist so tyranny is assumed.
Mom, Mikey beared false witness again!
It's just what christians do; lying for jebus is acceptable theology, along with the rest of the toxic stew that accompanies it.
He's not only the company ball suck, he's the president!
One thing I agree on, Congress has the constitutional right to ignore $CROTUS. That' what separate but equal means.
