    Mike Johnson believes he can force Jesus to return by nuking the Middle East, and reporters should be demanding he answer questions about it.

    Any member of the media or foreign power representative must allow Trump to rape them in broad daylight with his world famous big …ohhh, thar won’t be necessary thank you…$10,000,000.0! That’s right, if you need to speak with the guy you give him 10 million in small bills… Fives, tens and twenties please.

    Mike Johnson is fucking spooky. I’ve been saying this for a few years now, when his Covenant Eyes usage made news.

    He is a true believer, he’s on a mission from god. He’s smart. He will not care about the people crushed by the machine, as that is the fruit of their depravity in his worldview.

    Watch this motherfucker. Trump and Vance are motivated by greed and power. You need to look to fundamentalist Islamic leaders for a similar mindset to Johnson.

        I would think Netanyahu is closer to the greed and corruption model. He needs the war to keep his slimy ass out of jail.

          Netanyahu is a Zionist. The circumstances that he’s brought upon himself don’t negate that fact.

          The US was Zion for almost all of the Jews until the end of WWII. This isn’t a coincidence.

              How is Netanyahu being a cultist immaterial to a discussion about true believers that are causing evil with their positions of power?

                Because, at the end of the day, Netanyahu will do or say anything to save his neck. He’s not a fanatic like Johnson. He’s like Trump and Vance.

                I.E. Johnson would die for his beliefs and will kill or allow the deaths of those that he considers to be evil/subhuman like: queer people, immigrants, any religion other than Christianity or Judaism, etc.

                Netanyahu will kill or do anything to protect or enrich himself. His Zionism is just a useful tool, and if it didn’t serve him, he’d drop it. (Not that that would ever be the case) Netanyahu would load jewish babies into a wood chipper while sucking off an Imam if it would keep him alive.

                Look at what these people do, not what they say.

                You’re so wound up on the whole Israel thing that you’re missing the point. Also, quit doing this purity test crap. It leaves you unable to understand the nuance in these things.

                Johnson is more of a true Zionist than Netanyahu if you need to frame it that way. He is similar to Ali Khamenei in the fervency of his beliefs. I don’t have a good example of a Jewish politician as I’m weak on Israeli internal politics.

    Party of small government everybody. If they didn’t have double standards and lies, they wouldn’t have any standards or things to talk about.

      That tracks. They treat the Constitution the same way they treat the Bible. What is written there doesn’t matter. It’s not a thing that actually exists but a concept, and that concept “says” whatever they want it to say.

    How the hell can these people call themselves conservative. What kind of conservative calls for greater executive power?

        They’re royalists but don’t want to face reality, they want a king but saying that is about the least American thing you could possibly do.

      Conservative means “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.
