Yet another reason why Mike Johnson is a terrible house speaker: "Mike Johnson fundraising email warns God may punish U.S. for 'collective sins'"
Yet another reason why Mike Johnson is a terrible house speaker: "Mike Johnson fundraising email warns God may punish U.S. for 'collective sins'"
"Let’s face it- we live in a depraved culture. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins," he said.

Is it just me, or are lefties way more into the misdeeds of politicians and celebrities? I mean, sure it's important, but it feels like the left cares more. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.
The right doesn't care about bigotry and double standards. It's not just okay if their politicians lie and do bad things, it's expected and supported. Compared to that, the left is definitely more aware of their own politicians misdeeds, and actually punishes them.
If you want examples, just look how long it took the right to remove Santos from his position - and even then the majority tried to keep him in his position.
No they don’t. Good lord keep the conversation honest.
Aoc comitted several ethical issues and you are cheer her on. She also “faked” her arrest.
Both sides are slimey and both sides protect their side
Aoc comitted several ethical issues and you are cheer her on. She also “faked” her arrest.
Could you show me where I cheer her on?
If you want to, you can list a couple of the ethical issues you speak of. If they are actual ethical issues, I'll disavow her here and now.
But I can't imagine that they rise to the utter shit-show that was Santos, who - again - is STILL supported by the majority of house republicans.
Why the what aboutism? Everyone says santos must go. I’ve yet to see anyone defend his actions.
Santos goes beyond politics.
The majority of house republicans wants him to stay. Literally, more house republicans disagree with what you just wrote than agree with it.
But again, I'm not trying to employ any whataboutisms here. List some of AOCs ethical issues, and I'll disavow her here and now.
I hereby disavow AOC for this ethical issue, she should be punished appropriately.
So you approve her being removed ?
“Even after OCE’s exhaustive review of the congresswoman’s personal communications, there is no record of the congresswoman refusing to pay for these expenses,” said Hitt. “To the contrary, there are several explicit, documented communications, from prior to OCE’s review, that show the congresswoman understood that she had to pay for these expenses from her own personal funds—as she ultimately did. We are confident the Ethics Committee will dismiss this matter."
Are we all reading the same shit?
What a monster
For anyone who doesn’t want to read the article, AOC stands accused of failing to pay for hairstyling and possibly a dress.
Eventually she did pay, as far as I can tell.
This particular event isn't just a misdeed. It's open admission of homophobia.
Us libs police our politicians more harshly. Is that what you mean?
Yall seem to go after people over mere accusations. (Not that its the case here) Seems to be more vigilante than police if you ask me.
So yeah, harsh is definitely a word I'd use.
I would agree. They love gossip and “scandals”. Not sure it’s because they are naive or what.
Saying 'I'm gonna be a dictator' as a part of your campaign is more than a scandal. Calling your political opponents vermin is more than just gossip. Anybody who cares about freedom should be extremely concerned. This isn't how a democracy is supposed to work.
Do you expect us to not take the promises of politicians to do evil as something to be concerned about?
Did he say that? Looked to me he was going for the god angle more than anything.
What does that have to do to with Mike Johnson? Unless I completely misunderstood, you're just spamming links.
I was referencing a different example of "scandal and gossip" as you put it, Trump's Hitler like speeches.
Did he actually say that? Okay if he did, it doesn't matter.
I am concerned. It’s why I’m voting for Trump. I can’t take another four years of Biden’s Misogny and fascist tendencies. I can’t handle another four years of Bidenomics.
You have it backwards. Trump is the one who said he is going to be a dictator.
Trump is the one that called his political opponents vermin (and therefore basically quoting Hitler.
The republicans are the ones seeking to increase the power of the executive branch.
Trump is the one eroding trust in democracy by lying for years about the 2020 election.
Trump is the one being acting like a strongman (a common trait amongst fascists).
Trump is the one proclaiming that he and he alone can save the country (another strongman tactic).
Trump is the one who is treating women, minorities, and anything outside of a heteronormative lifestyle as second class:
Trump was the one who encouraged police violence against minorities.
Trump was the one who said a group of neo-nazis had 'very fine people' among them.
Trump was the one who hired a guy with ties to white nationalist groups.
Trump was the one who called mexicans rapists.
Trump was the one who pardoned Arpaio for racial discrimination.
You have it so far backwards it isn't even a joke. I don't have any more willingness to dredge up any more of the shit I've saved over the years. But it's fair to say that I'm only pointing out the tip of the iceberg.
Godamn, you got any sources to back up this claim lolol
I’m talking about Biden and your tds kicks in again. Please stay on topic.
You weren't just talking about Biden. You're the one who brought up Trump. At least try to keep up.
I can’t take another four years of Biden’s Misogny and fascist tendencies. I can’t handle another four years of Bidenomics.
That is talking about Biden. I said that is why I was voting for Trump.
Quote the line above that please.
Why stay on topic when he can spam a ton of links nobody asked for or wanted
What I find odd is they have to tell about Trump. No matter the topic.
How’s the weather?
Here is 50 links on Trump.
Trump could be the devil but I’d still vote for him if Joe.
You're the one who brought up Trump when you said "It's why I'm voting for Trump". You can't even tell the truth about the conversation itself.
I pointed how why I’m not voting for Biden and said I’m voting for Trump. I didn’t ask for word vomit about Trump. I’m aware of his flaws and I see them as less than Bidens.
You couldn’t refute bidens flaws or your tds kicked in full force. I have little interest in talking about Trump. He’s not person I would pick but with Biden as the option, he’s the only option for me.
Yeah, it's called a gishgallop. Wikipedia link There were a few reddit users that used the same technique. Just because they have a lot of links doesn't mean that those links actually prove the argument, or if those links actually say what he thinks they say. I could go into a deep dive, and individually refute all those links, but that'd take hours, and I just don't think it's worth the time or effort.
I'm not even 100% sure what argument pizza is making, is Trump going to be a fascist dictator or something?
Yeah, it’s called a gishgallop.
No, it's the natural result of how it takes significantly more effort and time to debunk bullshit than it is to say bullshit. Winter said some bullshit, and it takes a lot to debunk it.
I’m not even 100% sure what argument pizza is making, is Trump going to be a fascist dictator or something?
Winter said Biden is the one with misogynistic/fascist tendencies, when in reality Trump wins that "competition" by far.
His stance is we should be scared of Trump.
My life was fine under Trump. Yet when asked specifically how their life was bad, you get some babble.
They can’t name how Trump harmed them in anyway.
My trans friend tries to claim under Trump her life was in danger. Yet when pushed, he answer is believe your trans friends. I believe facts. Trump has always been a strong supporter of trans people. When Jenner came out, he was one of the first to say she can use whatever bathroom she wants on his properties.
As I said I have my own issues with Trump but as president, he did a good job
