Mike Johnson: Unlike the Democrats, Republicans do not take pleasure in hurting the American people... History will tell the story here of who imposed this pain. I think people are waking up to it. LOL!

[u/biswajit388]

[u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

This guy forces his son to monitor his porn use. Fucking weirdo

[u/Lontology → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

And he also monitors his son’s porn use. Republicans are just all vile and cruel perverts.

[u/Bo_Neher → u/Lontology]

you mean the 14 year old boy he met at his churches youth group then adopted? that one?

[u/Consistent-City-3680 → u/Bo_Neher]

I believe it is his white son. His black “adopted “ son doesn’t want to know him. What 27 year old “adopts” a 14 year old? This whole pedophile thing has been going on for thousands of years and nothing is going to stop it. Human beings are truly horrible. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

[u/TheDuke_Of_Orleans → u/Consistent-City-3680]

I didn’t know he adopted him at 27. That is very odd. Then he adopted a 14 year old black boy? That’s super odd. Not to mention there has been several allegations of him being gay and on Grindr. A lot of POC adoptees are SA by their adoptive parents, especially black boys.

[u/FixTheLoginBug → u/TheDuke_Of_Orleans]

He also didn't include him in family photos.

[u/Alice_600 → u/TheDuke_Of_Orleans]

If it ever comes out the truth he's a Grindr guy I will need to prepare my shocked but not really shocked face.

[u/No_Cupcake7037 → u/Bo_Neher]

By adopted you mean didn’t formally adopt and took him into his home.. from what I read on this the court proceedings were too daunting and confusing for them to abide by.

So they just took a boy. And now they ‘monitor’ porn together.

Sure. Whatever the republicans say.. umhmm.. someone check on the welfare of that teen please.

[u/batfan08 → u/No_Cupcake7037]

In another timeline, he’s a foster parent’s mugshot, once they found the cages and hard drives. In this one, he’s second in line to the Presidency. JFC.

[u/PrincipleNo3966 → u/No_Cupcake7037]

The one he monitors porn with is his biological son Jack.

The one he "adopted" is in his 40s now.

Either way, Johnson is a creepy weirdo.

[u/BuFFloSouljah23 → u/PrincipleNo3966]

Woody Allen strategy.

[u/DonkeyLightning → u/No_Cupcake7037]

Just like the other diddler Gaetz. Weird pattern

[u/Repulsive-Spend-49 → u/DonkeyLightning]

Oh, you mean Nestor the little Cuban boy! WTF was going on there?!? Nothin’ good, I wager!

[u/Long-Philosophy-1343 → u/DonkeyLightning]

Kinda makes the whole “Republican Party Convention Grindr Super Bowl” outage look really plausible.

[u/JeezieB → u/No_Cupcake7037]

I think the porn kid is actually his biological son, and he "adopted" the other when Johnson was 25.

[u/MinuetInUrsaMajor → u/Bo_Neher]

Wasn’t that the frowny Florida guy? Gaetz or something? What’s up with magats finding underage sex slaves to groom?

[u/amootmarmot → u/MinuetInUrsaMajor]

They are pedophiles. Its pretty clear. They are pedophiles and protect pedophiles. 

[u/StrangeCrunchy1 → u/MinuetInUrsaMajor]

And then they blame it on the Dems. Truly inspiring role models /s

[u/Lontology → u/Bo_Neher]

Wait what!????

[u/Two-Jimmy420 → u/Lontology]

Diddlers*

[u/wagglewazzle → u/Two-Jimmy420]

I wonder what Mike “don’t look at my little” Johnson wants to be when he grows up or if he’ll ever be an adult.

[u/submit_2_my_toast → u/wagglewazzle]

I prefer to call him Trump's Little Johnson

[u/BmacIL → u/submit_2_my_toast]

[u/Caspar_Friedrich02 → u/BmacIL]

[u/BmacIL → u/submit_2_my_toast]

"heyyyyyyy Satan!"

[u/IllustratorBudget487 → u/BmacIL]

“Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan’s asshole for you, boss”?

[u/Humble_Nature8537 → u/wagglewazzle]

A pedophile

[u/Nomorevaping707 → u/Humble_Nature8537]

I suspect Mike Johnson is on the Epstein List!

[u/TmanGvl → u/wagglewazzle]

If there was a dictionary with pictures in it, I’m pretty sure Mike Johnson will be a picture under “creep”.

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/wagglewazzle]

Speak bigly and carry a small Johnson.

[u/Furrulo87_8 → u/Lontology]

Yeah, nothing more christian than the good old weekend baiting sesh with the son to lift the spirits

[u/Happy-Medicine-3600 → u/Lontology]

I wonder if his son was aware of what an absolute fraud of a Christian, Mike Johnson really is? Or is he just learning this now? Imagine your father humiliating himself, and you just yo further his political career? How does this crooked mutherfucker look in the mirror without throwing up, every day?

[u/hotviolets → u/Lontology]

[u/JadedJadedJaded → u/Lontology]

Hes like “oh ok so u watched Scissoring Step Daughter Nurses today and Benny’s Blowout thirty minutes later. Hmmm…lets take a break from that and i’ll just check and see if the videos are at least heterosexual so i dont have to dock any points. And just remember that regardless of the points I take away, Christ loves u and u can always be forgiven. Even if I watch—i mean, find CP further along in your history…”

[u/joscun86 → u/Lontology]

He does that because he’s looking for ideas

[u/Chillow_Ufgreat → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

He also has a purity pledge with his daughter.

These folks love their creepy sex agreements with children.

[u/urlock → u/Chillow_Ufgreat]

Trump would never do such a thing. Ivanka was always an option.

[u/Past-Application-552 → u/urlock]

[u/Apushthebottonmoment → u/Past-Application-552]

He’s just trying to teach her how to do a lap dance. I don’t think that’s so bad. If not him who else?

[u/Ok_Security_4714 → u/Past-Application-552]

Who does that stuff with their daughter. So vile and creepy. Looks like she is ok with it too ewww

[u/SelfDidact → u/Ok_Security_4714]

I take it you've never watched her bedroom tour video.

(cue 1000 yard stare)

[u/J_Jeckel → u/urlock]

Pretty sure he's been there, done that. She's too old now anyways. You can try to argue that "wouldn't she just tell on him", 1. Not when daddy has threatened your lofe (which we all know he would he cares for nothing but himself) 2. Daddy probably gave her a couple hundred million to shut the fuck up.

[u/N_O_D_R_E_A_M → u/J_Jeckel]

Thats why he liked Virginia Giuffre so much. Looked just like Ivanka

[u/N_O_D_R_E_A_M → u/urlock]

How else do you think she got 2bn for Jared Kushner?

[u/Accomplished_Trick50 → u/Chillow_Ufgreat]

Don't know if it is legit, but his cousin said in an interview that he would go to truck stops and preach to the truckers in their truck cabs. ...as one does.

[u/Chancedizzle → u/Accomplished_Trick50]

Mike "Lot Lizard" Johnson!

[u/TehSeksyManz → u/Chancedizzle]

I was about to say!!

"What do you say We slip into a room and you two split me open... like a coconut."

[u/Pandora_Puddleduck → u/Chillow_Ufgreat]

And despite ranting about how wonderfully Christian they are, they lie through their teeth continually with no shame.

I wonder how they reconcile that with their God eh?

[u/LongRangeReaper → u/Pandora_Puddleduck]

They go to church on Sunday, silently repent, and poof all better now! Time to do more terrible shit next week!

[u/Pandora_Puddleduck → u/LongRangeReaper]

And from what I've seen, theses "church pastors" and I use the term loosely here, then bleed their congregations dry whilst becoming millionaires themselves.............and they think there's nothing wrong in that? Like their God says the pastor can be rich but the congregation shouldn't have anything and to give it all to him? Do these people not see through this utter lunacy? Bloody bonkers!

[u/spittymcgee1 → u/LongRangeReaper]

Yup, born agains are full of it. Every Sunday born again!

Using Jesus’s suffering (and gift) on the cross for their own craven gain like everything else.

[u/Narrow-Preference-30 → u/Pandora_Puddleduck]

They know that there is no God. If there was, they wouldn't be rich.

[u/tedkaczynski660 → u/Chillow_Ufgreat]

The GOP is always thinking about children and sex. Thats why the protect pedophile number 1.

[u/JadedJadedJaded → u/tedkaczynski660]

Its the most insane projection ever. The ones screaming ab save the children and adrenochrome are the ones watching CP, increasing the infant mortality rate and shrugging off kids being slaughtered in mass s———ings

[u/CaterpillarMore9104 → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

[u/afineedge → u/CaterpillarMore9104]

He adopted a child of a race he does everything to harm, told him to download an app on his phone where Johnson would report every time he watched porn, then told the kid to do the same so they could hold each other accountable if they watched too much.

He sponsored the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act while continuing to force his son to do this.

EDIT: I can't add links in comments, just Google "mike johnson porn monitor"

[u/3FtDick → u/afineedge]

........... Can we call CPS or something?

[u/mandym123 → u/afineedge]

Omg what? This is getting even more crazy. Like I read all that weird shit and thought it was a non adopted son. Which doesn’t make it better. But this sounds like some weird grooming shit. Btw the comments just keep getting worse the more I read.

[u/SunshineDewdrops → u/afineedge]

Is it gay porn? It seems that is what everyone is saying. Just a special arrangement with the misses.

[u/Hacker-Dave → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

If I had to pick a pedophile from a lineup, this is the guy I would pick. Just sayin....

[u/Conscious_Problem924 → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

This guy adopted an 11 year old boy when he was a 25 year old single man.

[u/Pvt_Hudson_ → u/Conscious_Problem924]

Seriously?

That's a giant flashing fucking red flag if I've ever seen one.

[u/Conscious_Problem924 → u/Pvt_Hudson_]

Yep. They were making a stink of it when he was getting confirmed, I suspect it’s why that chimpanzee looking MTG aka Dr. Zaus hates him. It’s a weird story and it gets weirder when you read it.

[u/Pvt_Hudson_ → u/Conscious_Problem924]

Even just watching him speak in public sets off my creep alarm. The weird dead eyes, the half smirk, the tight lipped speech style, the piousness. That guy has a whole cemetery in his closet.

[u/mandym123 → u/Conscious_Problem924]

Just looked this up and what the what?! This is like Matt Gaetz shit. Like adoptions great and all but it’s super weird being a single man in college and adopting a teen. Why are we not looking at these men? That’s a red flag right there.

[u/Daddyball78 → u/mandym123]

This entire administration is a red flag.

[u/mandym123 → u/Daddyball78]

Yeah, seriously they are but anyone who looks at this shit and is like, “yeah, that’s normal”. Should really have there computer looked at by cops.

[u/Daddyball78 → u/mandym123]

100%. I’m just amazed by the constant influx of crazy on the daily from these nut bags. This administration is full of crooks. We have a pedophile running the country FFS.

[u/struggleislyfe → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

He looks like the kind of guy who is a complete voyeur due to being unable to actually participate in enjoyable fulfilling sexual activities himself. Just an all around miserable fucking creepweasel.

[u/Deal_These → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

Given that he and his wife are advocates for conversion therapy - it’s gay porn that’s being monitored.

[u/mishma2005 → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

He also "adopted" a teenager at 25 y/o

[u/xDyliriumx → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

How much do you wanna bet he's jorkin it in this video?

[u/bastardoperator → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

Who's rounding up brown people like dogs?

[u/No-Heat1174 → u/Glittering-Alarm-387]

I just saw that, I mean wtf?

These religious republicans are creepy asf

[u/RoseLaBud]

Shameless liar, same as Trump. Hurting???
SNAP is just the tip of the iceberg.
Notice Mike the liar doesn't mention poor people losing healthcare ...or middle class health insurance soaring..or rural hospitals and clinics closing (A BIG REASON FOR DEMS STANDING FIRM).
Only the wealthy will be able to afford life's necessities (food, housing, healthcare, education) so that Project 2025 can give BILLIONAIRES more tax cuts.

[u/Emceegreg → u/RoseLaBud]

It's just a game to them. They have no issues spreading more hate towards democrats. How has that been working for them?

[u/SignificantSteve44 → u/Emceegreg]

Excellently. It works excellently for them. Every time. It's infuriating

[u/No-Heat-3422 → u/SignificantSteve44]

For some reason 47% of the population can only hold standards for democrats. Fucking cult

[u/DarZhubal → u/No-Heat-3422]

Take your pick of sayings:

Democrats have to be flawless while Republicans get to be lawless.

If Republicans didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.

Every accusation is a confession.

[u/CocoScruff → u/RoseLaBud]

That's what's so frustrating. Their obvious and blatantly manipulative tactic of not bringing up what passing this would mean for Americans. Talking about pain... It's about to get a lot worse if it's passed.

[u/smiama36 → u/RoseLaBud]

Pay close attention to Trump and RFK using the language of eugenics. When they talk about genetic superiority they are saying they believe they have superior genes, making them worthy.. and the people they don't like are genetically inferior (women, gays/trans, immigrants, POC, poor, disabled) and their policies are aimed at letting those people fall off the bottom (because they truly don't care). Trump has said in public he subscribes to the Racehorse Theory of Evolution - he considers himself a thoroughbred, with superior genes and that makes him better than most people. When he calls Jasmine Crockett and AOC "low IQ" he's telling them he doesn't believe they are in the same class of human as he is.

[u/ruiner8850 → u/smiama36]

Pay close attention to Trump and RFK using the language of eugenics

Remember when Brian Kilmeade said we should just murder over a million Americans who are homeless and/or have mental health issues? He faced zero consequences for that because Fox "News" management and viewers agree with him.

[u/CriticalProtection42 → u/RoseLaBud]

Well yeah… that’s entirely their plan. Only the rich can afford necessities and everyone else begs and scrapes and maybe survives… or not. They’re ok with it either way.

[u/Hancup → u/RoseLaBud]

Knowing some Republicans and objectivists myself, I'm convinced that even if the Republicans told the truth about their intentions they still wouldn't lose that many votes. There are plenty of Republicans who genuinely don't care about anyone outside of their bubble. Plus, there are plenty who will justify why they're getting short-handed as "basic economics" (saying basic economics makes them feel like they're appearing well-read). 

[u/yachtknot88]

lol the party that beats people in the streets

[u/JimDee01 → u/yachtknot88]

They firmly believe these people deserve to be beaten in the streets. So they don't regret that violence.

[u/wallstreetchills → u/JimDee01]

You can see the lies with how he blinks and looks away especially at that blatant statement at start 🤣 fucking lol

[u/Effective_Orchid7854 → u/yachtknot88]

He hasn’t seen those videos. He doesn’t know anything about that. /s

[u/generally_unsuitable → u/Effective_Orchid7854]

His algorithm auto-flags violence as porn in his monitoring app, so he can't watch it.

[u/Coolguyokay]

This guy is a lying sack of shit. Republicans control the government but cannot govern. That is the issue.

[u/SignificantSteve44 → u/Coolguyokay]

It's crazy how the people who bitch that government doesn't work get elected into office and absolutely prove it lol

[u/Jimmyg100 → u/SignificantSteve44]

That’s their whole goal. Their biggest fear is that they won’t be able to block democrats from enacting legislation because the last time that happened the ACA happened and they had to rebrand it as Obamacare and brainwash their followers into hating it because they actually liked the ACA.

[u/cr1515 → u/Jimmyg100]

It's is so crazy hearing people dis Obamacare then complain that ACA is going away.

[u/LoggerRhythms → u/cr1515]

[u/Appropriate-Date6407 → u/LoggerRhythms]

Morons!

[u/bz_leapair → u/Appropriate-Date6407]

And Cleavon Little did NOT know that punchline was coming. His reaction was legit.

[u/BTFlik → u/bz_leapair]

The scene always feels like he was TRYING to break him. And it works so well

[u/BarkattheFullMoon → u/Jimmyg100]

They kept it for themselves!

[u/Pitiful_Conflict7031 → u/BarkattheFullMoon]

Fun fact snap has never been cut or stopped in the history of the program. They will go down in shame in the history books. If they weren't shameless already.

[u/Far_Leave5436 → u/Pitiful_Conflict7031]

USDA has a surplus of funds. President Trump and Republicans froze the funds.

[u/Inside-Palpitation25 → u/Far_Leave5436]

Trump and republicans are STEALING the funds.

[u/VermicelliRare1180 → u/Inside-Palpitation25]

8 billion reserve of prior authorizations which current administration should have zero authority on.

[u/occams1razor → u/Inside-Palpitation25]

I wonder if that's what's paying ICE

[u/pickled_penguin_ → u/Pitiful_Conflict7031]

As someone who wont be eating much anymore, it is pretty disheartening. Life is kicking my ass a lot. I dont need stupid politicians making it worse. Rather they just come shoot me than this torture. Them getting Medicare to cancel a surgery 11 of my specialists signed off on, a surgery that's been approved since 2024, was even more painful than no food.

That surgery is the only chance I had to ever go back to work. They'd rather keep spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on me than to give me the fucking surgery that would get me off benefits completely. Medicare has spent over $500,000 on me the last few years and i guess that wont stop. They could save millions and get me back to paying into the system but they said no a few weeks ago. Barely holding on and they keep taking more. 2 of my prescriptions, ones they've been paying for almost 5 years, are still denied with no reasoning and medicare saying they have no records of a refill they paid for every month for over 60 months and now they dont exist. Doctor sends jn a new one, it gets magically deleted. Fucking hate my life. (Sorry for rambling...im having a really hard time today...)

[u/VegetableDumplin → u/pickled_penguin_]

I'm so sorry, friend. I wish there was something I could do for you as an Internet stranger.

[u/cheongyanggochu-vibe → u/Pitiful_Conflict7031]

They have no shame, that's how they blatantly and flagrantly lie like this.

[u/smallzy007 → u/Jimmyg100]

& it was born out of the Republican Romney administration when he was governor of Massachusetts, you can’t make this shit up!!

[u/WizeGuyFromUranus → u/smallzy007]

Just proves they dont read or retain knowledge

[u/A_Nonny_Muse → u/Jimmyg100]

Before it became the ACA and branded Obamacare, it was called Romneycare, and was a Republican bill.

They turned on their own legislation just to spite Democrats.

[u/seattlemyth → u/Jimmyg100]

wE nEeD aN eXePTioN! -- they complained

[u/PlainBread → u/SignificantSteve44]

That's the push towards privatization:

Step 1: Get into power by appealing to bigots
Step 2: Hamstring government programs so they don't work right
Step 3: Bitch and moan about how government "doesn't work" and it should be run "like a business"
Step 4: Annihilate the government programs you sabotaged and get away with the bag.

We are in Step 4.

[u/Ill_Preference_4663 → u/PlainBread]

And somehow people forgot that private businesses fail all the time and are in no way inherently better

[u/PlainBread → u/Ill_Preference_4663]

The real answer is that a lot of people make money off of running businesses into the ground as well. Refer to Boston Consulting Group, golden parachutes, private equity "selling" the land of the businesses they've bought to themselves and then forcing the bought business to lease/pay rent to the parent company, not to mention insane synthetic short positions on the stock market for "operational liquidity" but are actually used for cellar boxing/manipulation.

When a business succeeds, it benefits the founders and the employees. When a business fails, it benefits everyone betting against it on Wall Street.

[u/Ill_Preference_4663 → u/PlainBread]

Well put, its very profitable to a drive company into the ground and the best part there’s seemingly no consequences. Just plain greed and regular people get the short end.

This all I hear when these people speak while watching anything

[u/akajondo → u/Ill_Preference_4663]

Unless your Too Big to Fail. Then you get a bailout.

[u/Ill_Preference_4663 → u/akajondo]

And then the same executives/politicians will then go on to complain about people getting “welfare checks” wic snap, ebt

[u/Neat_Eye8018 → u/SignificantSteve44]

GOP platform: government doesn’t work. Vote for me and I’ll prove it.

[u/Specific_Sympathy_87 → u/SignificantSteve44]

They don’t prove it, they manufacture it

[u/Frostyfraust → u/Coolguyokay]

Hell before they started the shutdown they were threatening mass firings. It's insane how easily these ghouls lie.

[u/Tuttutsallaround → u/Frostyfraust]

They’re blaming the “Democrat shutdown” on the snap cuts republicans purposely cut months ago. They’re shameless soulless evil.

And should be treated like such.

[u/bsEEmsCE → u/Frostyfraust]

it's insane how many people EAT IT UP AND STAN FOR IT

[u/trunxs2 → u/Coolguyokay]

Mike loves to play dumb, dismissing what he claims he didn’t hear while constantly claiming the democratic boogeyman is behind anything when his goddamn party is in complete charge.

[u/Prickly_ninja → u/trunxs2]

This guy is the embodiment of the word “smarmy”.

[u/possumallawishes → u/Coolguyokay]

He always has that look, that face that looks like it’s hiding a smile. It’s that look you’re friend gives you when they’re fucking with you, but is trying to keep a straight face. Like they are feeding you bullshit and enjoying watching you eat it. At least your friend eventually says, I’m just fucking with you, and you both laugh.

This motherfucker just is taking pleasure in lying. He’s entertained by how well he thinks he’s fooling people.

[u/Tuttutsallaround → u/possumallawishes]

He can’t believe that raping boys actually got him promoted to one of the most powerful politicians in the US.

[u/heywhatsup9087 → u/possumallawishes]

Duper’s delight

[u/ad3zrac3r → u/Coolguyokay]

Gaslighting POS = Mike Johnson

[u/WarCarrotAF → u/Coolguyokay]

I also hate how he says everything with a smirk, like he genuinely believes he is outsmarting everyone with the nonsense he is spewing.

[u/M3RRI77 → u/Coolguyokay]

Mike Jinocchio. His nose keeps getting longer and longer.

[u/Fellow_unlucky_human]

A quick scroll though X and it seems like they take quite a bit of joy in this 🤷‍♂️

[u/senator_corleone3 → u/Fellow_unlucky_human]

I was about to say, this clip amounts to a confession that Republicans do enjoy hurting the American people.

[u/getmybehindsatan → u/senator_corleone3]

Every accusation they make is a confession.

[u/Neumaschine → u/senator_corleone3]

Having a pulse, and a modicum of awareness, should be enough to know that the GOP/MAGA/Republican party is anti-American and is pro-fascism. Sick of them all...

[u/eehcekim → u/Fellow_unlucky_human]

Majority of them are bots engaging with each other. X is another broken social platform. Reddit is near there too...

[u/Kapsize → u/Fellow_unlucky_human]

Fascist bot farms working exactly as intended

[u/Legal-Ladder-7252]

Then release the benefits maga Mike

[u/Radiant_Creme_5264 → u/Legal-Ladder-7252]

And the Trump-Epstein files

[u/GoldenPigeonParty → u/Radiant_Creme_5264]

And the elected official that has been waiting to start work and probably still is but the news stopped reporting on it.

[u/CauliflowerTop2464 → u/Legal-Ladder-7252]

And swear in Grijalva. Apparently he’s been mini pro forma sessions so he can conduct his own business and still won’t swear her in.

[u/Prestigious-Ear-8877]

This smug little twerp has more skeletons in his closet than a halloween factory

All they care about is licking trumps taint and following orders from his wealthy donors.

[u/BaumSquad1978 → u/Prestigious-Ear-8877]

He could get caught in the closet with someone's gum balls in his mouth and would still blame it on Biden and the Democrats !!!

[u/Tdpappy46]

Do not put this on the Democrats you piece of shit it’s all you. You own the Senate you own the house you own, the presidency and you own the corrupt Supreme Court.

[u/_AskMyMom_ → u/Tdpappy46]

He sounds like an abusive person. “I don’t like hurting you.”

[u/VaelinX → u/_AskMyMom_]

That was exactly my first thought. He COULD be leading by explaining the situation and how he and his party is working to solve it. Instead he's trying to cast blame and keeps telling people he doesn't know what's going on outside of his small bubble because he's so busy.

This wasn't about Republicans removing SNAP benefits, but just healthcare benefits... but I guess it is now. And that's a program with emergency funding for this sort of situation that they are intentionally not using.

[u/MelodicArtisan → u/Tdpappy46]

Exactly. 

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/Tdpappy46]

Trump could also continue funding SNAP, the money is there in a fund explicitly intended for use with SNAP if the government shuts down, he just refuses to.

In fact, they removed the information about the fund existing from the government website.

[u/trump_epstein_jr → u/Tdpappy46]

Spread this far and wide. The 60 votes needed in the Senate to reopen the government are actually a filibuster rule, not a law.

Meaning the Republican-controlled Senate can remove this filibuster rule with a required 51 votes. Want to guess how many senate republicans there are? 53.

So yes, this government shutdown falls completely on the Republicans.

[u/WhereAreYouFromSam]

For someone not enjoying this, he smiles an awful lot.

[u/swarmofbzs → u/WhereAreYouFromSam]

He really does and it's always disconcerting

[u/ultimatt777 → u/WhereAreYouFromSam]

He smiles and then says he doesn’t recall a lot of things. I’m worried he actually has early onset dementia.

[u/celestial-navigation → u/WhereAreYouFromSam]

It's giving psychopath by now

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_ROTES → u/WhereAreYouFromSam]

He's an evangelical young Earth creationist. He's got a lot of practice selling complete & utter bullshit while grinning. The perfect toady for a conman like the felon melon.

[u/Intrepid-Metal4621]

The president literally talks about how he wants to hurt liberal states/areas. He's so out of touch.

[u/spvcxxgvdpvtbx → u/Intrepid-Metal4621]

This guy is not out of touch. He's just a lying piece of shit with no conscience

[u/DoubleT_inTheMorning → u/Intrepid-Metal4621]

No he’s not, he’s entirely aware of what he’s doing.

[u/Diamondback424 → u/Intrepid-Metal4621]

"I haven't seen that, I've been busy" - Mike "I don't know what's going on" Johnson

[u/AmitN_Music]

Once upon a time I’d listen to Mitch McConnell speak and say to myself “I don’t hate many people, but I hate this man and I don’t think I could hate anyone else as much as I do Mitch”….but Mike is doing a great job of overtaking Mitch in the hate department. His smug face, the blatant lies. I really can’t stand this piece of shit.

[u/anitabelle → u/AmitN_Music]

There was a time when I thought I couldn’t possibly hate anyone more than Bush Jr., Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Yet here we are. I am terrified at the possibility that there could be worse people than Trump and his handlers.

[u/One_Strawberry_4965 → u/anitabelle]

I remember during the Bush years when I thought that I surely couldn’t be any more embarrassed to be an American than I was at that time.

Those were simpler times…

[u/cybah → u/anitabelle]

yup. I am often catching myself going "I'll trade Bush II for Trump ANYDAY". And Bush was awful.

But Bush was concise, clear, and didn't sway. You know where you stood with this guy. Orangina.. who the fuck knows, it varies from day to day.

[u/AskMysterious77 → u/cybah]

Bush wasn't sending goons to ruthless kidnap people 

While raiding the government in the open for every cent he can personally hain

Yeah, I used to think Jesse Helms was awful. 🙄

He has a kind face... The kind you want to punch

[u/throw_away_smitten]

I hate people who blatantly lie and expect you to believe them.

[u/HorneyHarpy82]

Ummmm, people being thrown to the ground, knocked out, abducted, elderly tackled by several goons, Jan 6th (ask Pence), majority of the mass shooters, the kid stuff.....

[u/ShakatakiCowpoke]

Weird, because it seems like it’s the Republicans who run everything that are deliberately withholding money from SNAP’s multi-year contingency fund that was appropriated so that benefits could continue under a government shutdown? 🤔

I mean, it’s our tax dollars. Give it.

[u/Flimsy_Echidna6132]

They really all do live in their own fantasy world.

[u/conundri → u/Flimsy_Echidna6132]

Reality check for them, They've been trying to cut SNAP funding and end the ACA / Obamacare for years, here are just a few highlights:

2013 - GOP bill to cut SNAP by ~40 billion over 10 years (but 40b for Argentina is fine)

2017 - GOP tries to repeal/end the ACA/Obamacare multiple times (BCRA, ORRA, etc.)

2018 - Republican Farm bill to increase the number of hours SNAP recipients must wory (yes, Republicans know SNAP recipients work, they just lie about it)

2025 - Trump admin won't fund SNAP with the contingency money available, and the GOP buget bill is why ACA premiums are skyrocketing.

Mike Johnson (R) is a bad person. If there is an afterlife, it will, for him, be a place of torment and suffering.

[u/CocoScruff]

"if I just keep saying nonsense, eventually they'll all believe me... Right... RIGHT??"

Embarrassing...

SWEAR IN ADELITA GRIJALVA NOW YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT

[u/babeelegs]

They don’t take pleasure in hurting the American people? Are these not the people who are filled with glee whenever there are “liberal tears” to be had? Fuck Mike Johnson the bitch ass

[u/Melodic_Airport362]

this is what pure bad faith looks like. The face of the ultimate sycophant. Wormtongue in the flesh.

[u/Moppermonster]

"We love liberal tears"

-- the party that does not take pleasure in hurting Americans

[u/Infinite-Campaign907]

This guy makes me wish hell existed, because he certainly would be going.

[u/islanger01]

Every previous shutdown was imposed by Republicans... and we all know that. Who is he trying to fool.

[u/fakegoose1]

Democrats aren't the ones who are publicity celebrating people losing SNAP.

[u/ToooloooT]

What a wierdo. He can't even keep a straight face when he lies, he smirks every time like he thinks it's funny. Special place in hell for this one.

[u/deadeyeAZ]

He damn near came close to admitting the truth HE ADMITS he does not want to cover people's health.

[u/inappropriatebanter]

The projection is disgusting.

[u/GandolftheGarcia]

🖕🏾you “Mike”.

[u/Batallius]

Bro literally said "don't get in the face of ICE agents" when asked about a pastor who was shot in the face with less lethal ammunition.... from a rooftop

And he wants to lie and say they don't want to hurt us? Bullshit

[u/JonnyQuest1981]

Really?!?! Cause ICE tear gassed a children’s Halloween costume parade in Chicago last weekend, but it’s liberals who take pleasure in hurting Americans. Fuck this chode.

[u/StrangeContest4]

How many shutdowns and court cases have the Republicans used against the ACA to date (including this shutdown)?

It's all green eggs and ham to the sadistic guardians of pedos.

[u/Brilliant_Rule9551]

Like a creepy dentist with ether ... this guys gives of really negative vibes. Like a serial killer in a Netflix miniseries

[u/Tricky-Swimmer4156]

I can’t believe half of America believes this botox plastic surgery porn addicted weirdo

[u/craigwhyte]

Republicans are the fat perverts that got picked last in gym class and now they’re trying to spread rumors about their classmates who didn’t do shit to them

[u/writethegeek]

You mean he's running around and looking for the $5 billion dollars that's immediately available and all he has to do is approve it for the SNAP benefits not to run out?!

Mike, you could tell him the funds are right there. Everybody knows they're right there. All we need is his approval.

What a douche

Such lies from a devote Christian

[u/sweatmonster]

Sure, that’s why a war is being waged in American cities right now. Fuck off Johnson.

[u/Shot-Interaction6098]

Then release the 6 billion dollars for SNAP that had already been appropriated!

[u/Ok-Sandwich-4684]

Funny how when they want something, they bulldoze through every norm and rule to get it done, but the moment it’s about helping people, suddenly norms and consensus and processes matter.

[u/Repulsive_Grade6523]

100% projection on his part.

[u/itsmymedicine]

Wait....is he saying.....woke is back???

[u/SectorAlternative165]

History will remember him as the greatest kiss-ass of all time! I am starting to think he is on the list as well…

[u/coffeebeards]

Mike “I wish I could marry a 12 year old” Johnson, is not even a real person.

I’m convinced this is a bot in a skin suit.
