Mike Johnson believes he can force Jesus to return by nuking the Middle East, and reporters should be demanding he answer questions about it.
What an arrogant prick. God should smite his sorry ass.
Jesus should return and bitch slap him with the power of Christ.
“Calling things unconstitutional” is the new “calling things woke”.
That’s such an unconstitutional thing to say!
lol. a REPUBLICAN saying what’s unconstitutional??
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.
Or Netanyahu
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.
okay, that’s immaterial to the current discussion.
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.
Getting rid of congress would make the government smaller
yeah! just one guy - can’t get smaller than that! /s
Hey everyone the Constitution is unconstitutional!
-MAGA Mike
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.
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Fuck that.
Our Constitution is unconstitutional!
Its like they believe “constitutional” means “the way I want it”
Why wouldn’t it, they do that with everything else. Ask a conservative if they hate something and they say they don’t hate because it’s a sin. Ask them to describe how they feel, and they describe hate.
They believe “constitutional” means that thing they do on the toilet each morning.
By denying the Constitution of the United States in violation of his Oath of Office, House Speaker Mike Johnson is unironically committing treason right now.
So he’s next up to be president.
not unless he rapes someone. Then he’s on track!
He’s christian so he probably has.
…mossad gonna mossad and FSB gonna FSB…
It’s more or less toilet paper now.
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.
So today we care about the constitution? I get the days mixed up…
The constitution explicitly says what to do with this motherfucker. Stop being such pussies and do it.
What are you waiting for?
not my pig not my farm
I wasn’t asking you.
So you want a king, yes? You people sure took a roundabout way to get back to where you started.
How the hell can these people call themselves conservative. What kind of conservative calls for greater executive power?
They’re regressive and refuse to admit it.
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.
Funny, that’s the same for fascists.
Good job giving away your own powers dickhead.
At least dicks can get hard. This fucker has as much spine as a bowl of spaghetti.

Theil essentially got him in as VP That’s the chucklefuck Vance. Johnson is a different chucklefuck from Congress.
As someone pointed out. That’s Vance, not Johnson. We are talking about Johnson.
Not sure why I read Vance, haha
Well, the War Powers Act is unconstitutional - but in the other direction. Deploying military force requires a declaration of war, which requires congressional approval, but the War Powers Act circumvents that by pretending that using euphemisms to describe military actions instead of calling it war makes it different, somehow.
So like a special military operation
Exactly.
See also: Military Operations Other Than War, Low Intensity Conflicts, Police Action (e.g. Vietnam).
And that’s kind of a problem. As far as I see, this use of the war powers act is entirely consistent with previous uses. Trumps not wrong for once.
Maybe the part about not bothering to inform Congress because “they’ll see it in the news”.
Our outrage seems to be mainly that he chose poorly, or maybe even that we haven’t been conditioned to agree with it. Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons for years(decades?) and I certainly agree the world becomes a more dangerous, unstable place as more countries obtain nuclear weapons. Sanctions haven’t been working, but you combine this with Israel’s assassinations and it should be effective at stopping their program.
Of course I don’t know that anyone tried negotiating from a point of respect for their sovereignty nor was this in response to hostilities against our Interests or any urgent threat (that we’re aware of). You can’t just bomb people you disagree with, but this really seems consistent with previous administrations and the only difference is the propaganda war to manipulate support
Trumps not wrong for once.
He’s definitely wrong morally, constitutionally, and strategically just not legally, per how the courts have (mis)interpreted the constitution.
Sanctions haven’t been working
Well, in order to work, they’d have to have a coherent objective.
They did work at bringing Iran to the negotiating table, which led to Obama’s Iran deal. The only problem being that Obama made it, so Trump had to hate it. The only thing the US actually wants from Iran is for it to be an enemy the president can bomb to look tough.
it should be effective at stopping their program.
The program that we have no evidence actually existed, that is. Certainly, if they weren’t actively persuing one before, they’d be mad not to now. How else could they stop the frequent, random unprovoked aggression from the US?
I mean yeah, I didn’t claim this action was morally or even strategically acceptable, just that it seems consistent with the way past administrations have used the same power.
