Mike Johnson: "Look it's not my fault that I'm making this country shitty, it is those pesky LGBTQ+ people."
So where in his Scooby Doo story do we pull off his mask and reveal the raging homosexual that he is…not that there’s anything wrong with that….just wanna see the hypocrisy on full display
Not all bigots are secretly gay. Some are just hate filled assholes. Most are hate filled assholes.
This is the problem, like I'm fine if he was really going to let God do the punishing, but they all wanna take his job
Johnson then wrote that he worries that “our culture has fallen so far” since the United States’ founding in 1776. “I fear America may be beyond redemption,” he adds.
Since 1776? The year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? I would think America got quite a bit better since then. I can think of just a few things that have made it better like:
- 1787 Creation and signing of the US Constitution including that 1st Amendment including the words "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
- 1865 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States
- 1870 15th Amendment granting black men the right to vote.
- 1920 19th Amendment to the Constitution granted women the right to vote and was ratified by the states
If Mike Johnson sees these things as a decline of the United States since the Declaration of Independence, he is saying he is seeing other besides white men gaining the ability to vote as a bad thing.
Republicans, your chosen Speaker of the House sees the Constitution of the United States as a negative thing!
Back in the good ol' days where you were committed to a mental institution if found masterbating.
If God is punishing us, he's doing it by sending a plague of Republicans.
As House Speaker, it is not your job to speak on behalf of God.
Perhaps leave that to the popes.
He's Baptist, not Catholic. He doesn't give a damn what the Pope says.
The point remains. He is in no way an authority within the Baptist church, let alone someone that can speak for God according to that religion.
Seriously, who can possibly be so invested in the personal lives and relationships of others?
I genuinely don't understand how you can waste your time with that amount of hate.
It's extremism, plain and simple. Live the life you want and let others live theirs.
Be kind. Support one another despite any differences we may have. Seriously, WTF?
The older I get the weirder it gets to me that grown adults have an imaginary friend who tells them to be bigoted.
If I had an imaginary friend I would want it to be like Scorpio in Farscape. Someone who could give me insights I didn't think of, someone to bounce ideas off of, and maybe turn on painkillers in situations where I need one.
Okay, let's see "God" come on down and do that. Until then I'm gonna continue being "depraved" fucking nut jobs.
He should go to Afghanistan. Our shit says "we the people." That's a formal acknowledgment that God is not coming to govern for us.
It's getting more and more difficult to understand where they are coming from. I ask my boyfriend what we want to make for dinner, while our speaker asks his son, a minor, to monitor him so that he doesn't get addicted to porn. The relationship I have with my boyfriend is just as healthy, maybe even more healthy than the relationships I've had with women. I give people a pass in the 00s since being queer was rare, but queer people have been in the mainstream for well over a decade at this point, and we are a known quantity. We just want a happy life like everyone else. That's it.
I often laugh that some religious people most likely spend more time thinking about gay sex than we do. Which is once a week if that for us.
How can he be anti-gay when he has Trump's cock in his mouth and ass 24/7?
My 13-year-old daughter like girls much more than boys.
I'm fucking terrified that he's in power.
Actually god told me that he hates Mike Johnson because his last name means penis and that’s fucking gay.
If god was real, the sky would open up and he'd smush this stupid fuck for using his namesake to spread lies, fear, and bullshit
That's not good. I mean seriously God is going to punish America. We don't know when or how but it's going to bad. If you are a God Fearing Republican, please evacuate now! Mexico, Canada, Cuba. It doesn't matter just get out of America before it's too late! And stay out! For your safety. Think of the children.
I don't think Mexico, Canada, Cuba, or much anywhere else for that matter would appreciate littering on such a degree.
Question seven from the "Taliban or Mike Johnson" party game.
Please, ask god to stop priests and church leaders from molesting children. Thanks.
Considering LGBTQ+ is a protected group in the USA, surely the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's comments are tantamount to criminal harassment if not hate motivated harassment.
Get these fucking mentally ill cunts out of politics! These idiots believe in magic and mean to force their irrational shit upon us all!
OOOooh punish me sky daddy
I'd like to see him try.
But it looks like this asshole is going to punish America instead.
Christians make God sound like such a nice guy who totally deserves worship!
It is always some hateful delusional person talking about God is going to hate people for being LGBTQ.
My go to is always number of hurricanes that hit fabulous san francisco vs the conservative gulf states.
So the dude is a straight up lunatic? He belongs inside a fuckin insane asylum.
I’m sick of these America-hating assholes bad-mouthing MY COUNTRY.
If you hate freedom so much, you’re FREE to LEAVE!!!

This week, Johnson is delivering the keynote speech at a gala for the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL), a Christian Nationalist group with ties to massively influential conservative groups.
"[...] I cannot conclude anything other than America is hanging on by a thread.”
I sincerely agree, Mr. Johnson.
You know what really pisses me off? When they say shit like "identifying" as lgbtq which sounds very close to "it's a choice to be gay".
If the above two statements are true (which they are not in context to this post) then being a straight white male is also a choice! There's no double standard here!
Which logically, if it's a choice either way then these straight white men are just as gay as everyone else, they're just choosing to be straight!
Hey Mike, you are the depravity. You outed yourself as an anti-American neofascist when you tried to overthrow democracy and replace it with a dictatorship.
Don't worry though, God won't be mad anymore if Republicans win. Nothing will change, but God will no longer be mad. God is only mad if Democrats are in charge.
Imagine giving an entire species free will to do whatever they want, then getting pissed off because of how a % of that species decides to find pleasure and get into relationships, and then collectively punishing a specific geographical region based on that small %.
