Let me add that I’ve met people like Mike Johnson; I’ve lived in Texas and known fake Christians like him that pretend to be men of God and then do horrifically despicable things the second they leave church.

His “churchy” act is bullshit.

Jesus condemned fakes like him. He’s Trump’s bitch.

House Speaker Mike Johnson can go fuck himself. He’s the worst kind of sycophant: a spineless worm that does the bidding of his fascistic master.

That clown has completely given up on democracy and is 100% in the pocket of our dictator President.

He doesn’t give a damn about democracy.

And by “grabbed” you mean illegally arrested by Federal agents abusing their power and the Constitutional rights of Americans.

STOP SOFT-PEDALING THINGS.

Republicans hate the Republic.

Their actions since 2016 prove it.

Their words are lies and distraction.

Was just in Safeway buying some groceries, and a guy walks in with a t-shirt that screamed “FUCK TRUMP”.

Three people complemented him.

So did I.

I want my democracy back.

I just blocked the White House account on Blue Sky.

You should, too.

And do these retirees REALLY think that Trump will let them keep their retirement pay and benefits?

You know better.

Retiring won’t help them avoid Trump’s vindictiveness.

Is there evidence they were running drugs BEFORE they blew up the boat?

Did they not think of maybe stopping the boat without blowing it up?

There’s so much fake macho dumbfuckery in the executive branch now, it’s disgusting.

Step 1: Assume boat is carrying drugs without evidence, declare it hostile.

Step 2: Blow up boat, killing passengers accused of being drug traffickers, but without any evidence.

Step 3: Rescue “survivors” of boat you destroyed.

Step 4: Declare victory, PBS runs article soft-pedaling murder.

Lack of critical thinking skills on display.

This is why Congressional Trumpers hate the very of the idea of the Department of Education - they can’t fund schools that actually teach people how to think critically, now can they?

Yup. Republicans have been carrying water for Trump since he became their nominee in 2016, and find no end of excuses to justify his horrible actions and behavior as long as it suits their extremist social and political ambitions.

It’s blatantly craven behavior.

South America first, apparently.

Farmers that voted for Trump must be so proud.

Threatened?

Judges need to just do it already.

Oh, so now he gets credit for doing NOTHING for NINE MONTHS to stop the massacre of civilians in Gaza?

Americans can be so stupid.

Trump is a monster.

It’s that simple.

Johnson is such a liar. He lives to serve only his god-king Donald Trump. If he cared about democracy, separation of powers and America, he’d have told Trump to go to hell years ago.

brainthink @brainthink.bsky.social · 1d

That’s nice, but he’s still a tyrant that hates America and Americans.

brainthink @brainthink.bsky.social · 1d

Allegedly Johnson is a man of god.

(He isn’t).

He’s one of Trump’s boys.

The Confederate dumbfuckery is rising again. The South seems to hate America.

brainthink @brainthink.bsky.social · 1d

Why is anyone surprised? Trump believes he’s above the law.

And Republicans are okay with that.

“Republicans” hate the Republic.

They worship only their god-king Donald Trump.

Leavitt is the stereotypical mean girl that’s rabidly loyal but unbelievably ignorant. She’s the kind of person that people avoid at parties. I don’t know why the press takes her seriously, she’s awful.

The Yeehaw Conspiracy (aka The Revival of Confederate Dumbfuckery) continues.

Dude, he *IS* a fascist, he’s not “echoing”
